Comment on Ask HN: What made the 80s so pleasant?

Comments

In which country?

Japan in the 1980s was booming and would’ve been magical.

In the US, the 1980s was a sort of economic rebounding from stagflation and high oil prices of the 1970s.

The crack epidemic, the renewed “war on drugs”, nuclear war (“the day after” was a big deal), blatant racism, terrible American cars, and high interest rates?

I don’t miss those at all.
