    Relatively, it fucking was a breeze in terms of cost of living. Of course there were social, technological and other issues, no one disputes that.

        Homie you are missing the point, no one is saying people didn’t have problems, what they are saying is in Relative AND absolute terms to now, things are both more expensive and people earn less.

        We can look at statistics to prove this. Anecdotal evidence exists, but it doesn’t prove anything.

          If you look at my original post I provided actual facts that I double checked before posting not anecdotal information. People downvote but haven’t tried to refute. They look for validation not information on the internet. There are good jobs out there now needing to be filled. Trust me the 70’s thru the 80’s were hard times, I lived through them.
