Populists claim it was better in the 70s, but "the best explanation for the good old days is a bad memory." I was there: 2-digit inflation + unemployment; gas lines; shortages of sugar, coffee, meat. Unskilled wages bought *much* less. https://humanprogress.org/article.php?p=1994 … #HumanProgressData
Also TV in the 70s was utterly idiotic. Lowest common denominator stuff.

There were a few gems amid the general dreck. The Prisoner also came from the UK. Monty Python, The Prisoner, and Star Trek even started in the 1960s.

LOVED that one and learned to speak English watching it. Please tell me you don’t think contemporary movie Batman is better than the 60s TV show!
