Quantum Time Travel with HDR

Today I did quantum time travel with the HDR to an alternate timeline similar to the 1950's. The cars were big and broad. The women wore dresses and not pants. Most people respected authority and I did not see any teens with nose rings or a tattoo.

It was interesting in that there was no WWI or WWII, and people did not live in fear like here. In fact, most people were quite happy. The crime rate was close to zero so there were no cops on the street. The few elected sherriffs that did exist did things like direct traffic after a tornado knocked down traffic lights and stuff like that.

The judges would spend their time marrying couples and swearing in new citizens. A lot of Europeans were coming from an overcrowded Europe to opportunity filled America. A land where dreams came true.

Salaries were considerable higher than here, and the cost of houses and food much lower. The few things that were expensive were things that required manual labor like a haircut. Most factory goods were dirt cheap and made here in America.

There was no income tax, but the government had a flat tax of 15% on all items, except food and medicine. There was a 75% luxury tax on perfumes, fine wines, yachts etc.

Both Canada and the US were one country and there were no states or provinces, but instead districts that were smaller than a state, especially states like Montana in the west. Also no president, but a Prime Minister, and no senate, but instead a house of commons.

In Kansas City was the capital of the Republic of North America. Near a group of monuments was Parliament Hill. I made another jump were I also saw RONA, and it was similar.

It seems that in this timeline there was no slavery and people all got along. I was happy to see that war and strife are not inevitable. We create our future!

If a House of Commons, it has to be British. Perhaps the second Civil war ( or, the Revolutionary war) did not occure and the Republic grew peaceflly out of Brittian?
