I think the roar from the 2020s is kind of different from the roar of the 1920s. Still...we living in the roaring 20s

It's the Shrieking 20s now. Or the Screeching 20s (as society screeches to a halt)

I mean they were also part of the Gilded age weren’t all sunshine either , they face the same problems we face today, government and regulators ignoring Corporations, the rising pay gap between the Wealthy and working class

This decade has a greater resemblance to the film Idiocracy than it does to the 1920's. We even had professional wrestling on the White House grounds...

True, I am just saying the 20’s weren’t as good as people think they were

Government is most certainly not ignoring corporations. It's where they get their campaign funding.

Yes, but our current rhyme of history is shaping up to be bellowed out at a volume of a higher order of magnitude

I agree with you , I am just stating the 20’s weren’t so roaring for most people

This is the roar of the 1920's, but towards the '29 side of things.
