Absolutely. For example, there were a couple of years my junior corps maxed out in July and never recovered!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told, probably not! At that particular time it was good but over the course of time we are able to make improvements. For every thing that is " deemed better today", one can just as easily cite something else that is decidedly worse today. it is by no means an accurate and unimpeachable assessement that as things.. "evolve "... they get better. Is Venezuela " better " today than in 1985 ? Is all Wine poured from new bottles of today" better " than that poured from all French bottles of 1925 ? Is the Brittish Empire of 2018 " better" and stronger today today than in 1908 ? Is " civility " in US politics in Washington,. D.C. today " better " than 1985 ? Is the City of Detroit Michigan " better" economically , than it was in 1956 ? .. " improvements made " to make it so ? Is Brittish Rock n. Roll music" better" in 2018 than in 1963 ? Has gas station customer service at the pump " evolved " from 1960 customer service provided to customers to a " better " customer satisfaction level at the pump with customers today ? Can the typical 8th grader in the US read as well as the typical 8th grader of 1956 ? Really ? The research evidence would not support such an assertion. Look, its a misnomer to state that as the years " evolve " things get " better". Sometimes they do. Other times they don't. They are a million things one could cite that are in serious question they " got better " as they " evolved ". Some times things actually " devolve " to where its pretty clear to most that things did not get " better" in the least compared to earlier versions.... quite the contrary, as a matter of fact to most unbiased observers.
