I guess most people aren’t old enough to remember the gas rationing, lines, odd and even days, sweaters and turning the thermostats down.

Iranian hostages, 13% inflation, Peak oil, population bomb, and all the other Malthusian BS. Oh, and Disco. Yeah the 70’s sucked.

I was only a kid but I remember the 70s pretty well.

Other than some TV shows, movies, and non-disco music, not much else was that great.

Dear sarge,

Military pilots could not get their flight hours in, due to not having the fuel necessary .... and this was a T.A.C. ‘ready-to-deploy’ fighter wing!

You forgot velour shirts and platform shoes.
