??? In MY alternate universe, the ’60s culminated in the ’70s, which were a BAD time. Were the ’70s a good time for you? How so? I’m astonished anyone could’ve preferred the ’70s to the ’80s & ’90s – and yes, even today. (We’re much more resilient to shocks to the system today because the markets are so much freer. Trust me: The Fannie & Freddie meltdown will blow over, and we’ll still be here, and the Misery Index will still be well below 1980 levels.)
