    These ones are in great shape... its thrilling to "go back in time 66 years"... to think how much has changed in the intervening years - interstate freeways, space travel, color TV, computers, cell phones... and now homelessness and legalized petty crime in CA... kinda gives me the willies thinking about it.

    The little electric motorboats you see @ 1:21 were powered by 1925 Dodge starters and car batteries. Each one was named after a Disney character. They also had a franchise in Reseda Park in the Valley. I would help out there in trade for free rides. They were owned by the Dasea Bros. if I have the correct spelling. A fun afternoon for family fun. Brings back memories of a better time. The scene here is MacArthur Park.

      It's really happened all over the world. Global population is up about 120% since the time these episodes were made.
      There's too many people and that makes things more expensive and makes it harder to get ahead in life. And on top of that, the wealth in both the United States and the world has concentrated incredibly meaning that most citizens are effectively poorer than they used to be.
