I got laughed at when I pointed out that there were people nostalgic for the 70’s.
I loved them. High school, college, fell in love, married, first baby. Special to me.
But the 80s really rocked.
In most respects, we Americans were freer in the 1970s than we are today. The Federal Leviathan was a tiny fraction of its current size, scope, power, and cost. We were not (yet) overrun with lawyers, and “political correctness” was the subject of “Soviet Russia” jokes ... not daily obnoxiousness here in America. We weren’t having “diversity” shove down our throats, and we know how to laugh. The people throwing poo at the 1970s are jealous.
I enjoyed the 70$
Except for that Jimmy Carter and gas ⛽⛽⛽ shortage thing
I had a great time in the Seventies.
You have to find a way to have a good time wherever you are, however you can. We certainly had a lot more freedom then than we do now, and the music was a LOT better.
That said, the cars did suck immaculate. Didn’t run well, covered in rust, had bald tires, and looked awful.
And the clothes did suck. And the hairstyles too, although I was in the Navy for nearly half that decade, so the clothes and hair were less of an issue for me.
Oh yeah. We didn’t have cell phones or video games either.
Thank God. I have grown to dislike them both, not for what they are, but what they have done to society.
And even the politics of the Seventies looks nearly competent in comparison to what we see today. Carter was an arrogant, incompetent dipstick, but I don’t believe he was in it for the money, or really hated his country in the way these people now are and do.
