Boomers walking into offices demanding jobs, people being hired because they had "sparkle" in their eye, mentorship etc. You can't make the argument that that time wasn't infinitely better than today

It was a very dark time in our nation's history.

Out of control greed and corruption.

Republican "leadership."

Many women were still mired in "female occupations", or worse, stuck at home raising children.

AIDS was killing our gay population.

No Internet, Youtube, reality television or smartphones.

No popular recognition of police brutality.

Rape culture was encouraged.

No legal pot, no gay marriage, zero tranny rights.

No concussion protocol in NFL.

i could go on and on but you get the point
