I wouldn't say blanketly "life was better" I would say "class stratification was lower and worker protects were stronger for many people and those things are desirable" The New Deal and GI bills were racist in writing and implementing and we shouldn't pretend it was a bug.

The '50s were great if you were a white, cis, straight man. But America, being America, destroyed its own means to generate prosperity in order to prevent black people from using them.
