People exhaled a collective 'phew....we made it' and decided to have a decade long party where their inhibitions were tossed out the window.
There are signs that we could be entering a similar phase post-COVID. The change in attitudes in terms of environmental concerns, 'build back better', and working from home are already showing themselves. People are also realising how much they miss inter-personal contact that the IPhone simply can't replace.
Are we heading for a Roaring 20s Part 2?

Not much changed for the better in the 20's at all Women were still repressed, racism was still strive, there was huge wealth inequality Stalin started his grip on Russia to me it was a nothing decade the 30's 40's and 60's had way more consequential results than the 1920's which was only really known for underground drinking.
