"Poll question: I still think the 80s was worse..." Mon Nov-06-23 03:22 PM by Buddy_Gilapagos
Crack, Aids, Serial Killers, Crime, Reagan, Constant threat of Nuclear Holocaust...I hear so much doom and gloom about the present, but I still think the 80s were a far scary time to live and grow up in.
I also think by most objective measures (poverty level, crime rate, etc.) the 2020s is an objectively better time.
I do think mental health is waay worst then they were 40 years ago, but I think that has more to do with social media than other external factors.
