"Perhaps people, and kids especially, are spoiled today, because all the kids today have cars, it seems. When I was young you were lucky to have a bike"

This quote by James Cagney talks with the idea that people, as well as particularly children, are ruined today because they have accessibility to cars. This is in contrast to when Cagney was young, when having a bike was taken into consideration a high-end. This quote implies that children today have accessibility to greater than what was available to Cagney when he was maturing, which this gain access to has resulted in a sense of privilege as well as spoiled actions. It also suggests that youngsters today consider granted the advantages they have, such as having a vehicle, which they do not appreciate the worth of the things they have. This quote is a suggestion that we must be grateful for the important things we have, and that we need to not take them for given.
