I mean, this is how far our standard of living has fallen in the US.

Like, back in the 80's and 90's it was pretty normal for a family to subsist on a single income, in a reasonably nice house, with all of their necessities taken care of. It was so normal that even a brainless loser like Homer could do it.

Also because back then, kinda fat = automatic loser

The show quit caring about money because it's not interesting. The early seasons have money as a constant issue. It's just not that interesting to she them constantly needing money, so they just stopped.

Simpsons did it just fine for years, Malcolm was only 7 seasons, Simpsons is on season 35.
