What did the 80's ever do to you?
I have ranted enough. If you have answers, why not rebut what I wrote with actual example of great things from the 80’s. I just cannot seem to come up with anything, except the wall in Berlin fell. You don’t like Reagan though, and non-trickle down economic theory, my opinion remains void on that. I liked Reagan though.
Oh, forgot the IBM P/C. Tired of typing with one finger on a tablet. So what fond memories of non disposable stuff you collected or wished you owned like a car or consumer product do you recall that is classic from then? Educate me on what I missed orher than buying Berkshire Hathaway shares.
Light and Heavy mfg. Industry was declining in America, American cars were shit quality (Name one which is a true collectors item), the economy sucked mostly w layoffs, interest rates were way too high 7-20%, inflation accellerated, the industry I was in imploded, decline started of family restaurants in CA replaced by shitty chain restaurants and stores absorbed more market share, coca cola changed to corn syrup (in 84’), mergers and acquisitions really increased, increase in gratuitous violence and graphic horror movies,
Reagan gave amnesty to attempt to keep more illegals from arriving and from being exploited, but the problem just increased since congress didnt act to put a backbone in the law. Reagan had the balls to fire striking Air Traffic controllers.

“The law granted amnesty to nearly 3 million illegal immigrants, yet was largely considered unsuccessful because the strict sanctions on employers were stripped out of the bill for passage.”
