The 70's, too. 😢

@SpiritualAnnie @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon

What people?

70s: Rampant stagflation in the 70s, gas lines, Iranian hostage crisis, Watergate, racism, homophobia

80s: Reaganomics, double-digit interest rates, inflation, racism, homophobia

90s: recession , interest rates higher than today, inflation, racism, homophobia, poor salaries, Iraq invasion

All happened. Wasn’t some Golden Age.

@davidhmccoy @SpiritualAnnie No, but if you were a kid back then, then it definitely seemed better because you weren't aware of all that (at least not much).
