he did a good job
Except for his utter failure to mount a decent response to the Iran hostage crisis, destruction of the economy, hypocritical human rights policy, failure to respond to the oil embargo, and turning this country into a paper tiger in the eyes of the rest of the world.

When he entered hospice, nothing was publicly known about his wife's deteriorating mental health. The announcement that she is suffering from dementia followed, but I think those around her would have realized that she was having problems long before the announcement. His entry into hospice may have made it easier to care for them with them separated physically or medically.
Him and Rosalynn just celebrated 77 years of marriage a couple of days ago.
That's crazy. They were married when my FIL wasn't even a year and a half.

was a kid when he was president, but even I understood what an abysmal job he was doing. So few people today experienced it. People today would lose their minds if they had to experience it.
They are experiencing it

Thanks to this thread he'll probably die in a couple days.

Turns out Regan was sideswiping him with the arms for hostages deal. I lost some very dear friends in the jungle during that whole Iran - Contra thing. Ollie was old school and fell on his sword for Regan when Regan should have been prosecuted.

destruction of the economy
Oil shocks destroyed the economy and neither Nixon or Carter could stop it. That die was cast when the English disclaimed the Persian Empire in favor of a bunch of Bedoin nomads so they could get the oil concessions around the first part of the last century.

He went to Annapolis and was a nuclear sub guy. Like Bush Sr being CIA director before the POTUS both were well aware of the military and the rest of the world. Study your Sun Tzu, the greatest warriors are the ones who find solutions without going to war. Most wars in history are about economics and resources. Like the Russians in Ukraine, kill off lots of your own people and your economy gets better.
What Carter lacked was insider control in Washington and control of the media. Most of our "history" has been written to discredit Carter because he coast some powerful folks a WHOLE lot of $$$$

Sometimes they put someone on hospice who can realistically survive 6 months or more. Easier to get meds.
This. My dads been on it since December. Makes insurance and treatment approvals much easier.

11-12%
Just a little higher. 13.74% at the end of his term and they climbed to 16.63% before Reagens policies started lowering them. At the beginning of Carter's term they were 8,8%.

Not an issue for a single POTUS, oils shocks did it, not policy.

We were much more free, and far less spied upon.
This is only because the technology wasn’t there yet. The US government in the 70’s would have spied on your entire life just as the do now, they just couldn’t.

And back then we didn't have the Patriot Act in place, people would have never been clamoring to put a bug in their house (Alexa) or willfully carry around a tracking and listening device 24/7.
I'm no Carter fan, quite the contrary, but I would still say we are in worse shape today, leadership wise.

Did not try to make coin after being POTUS, devoted the rest of his life to the service of others with things like "Habitat for Humanity".
As a Gen X conservative Republican, I can say he was the greatest Man to hold the office in my lifetime, and its not close.
He would be unable to win any election today as he is too conservative for Dems and too liberal for Reps and would again be an extremely ineffective President if he were elected. His energy policy was a great example of how he refused to be pigeon holed by politics. He wanted to kill strip mining, yet he got the Alaskan pipeline route approved and deregulated oil and natural gas. He was in favor of nuclear energy, but only if they were light water and not breeder reactors.

Not really related to Carter, but I found out a really good friend of mine was diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer, also had a stroke related to the cancer. He's in a rehab facility trying to recover enough from the stroke to start chemo. Obviously not looking good. I'm still trying to process this.

Jimmy Carter’s good vibes will keep him going a long time. Amazing person. Shitty president.
I'm not sure you can be as good of a person as he is and be a good president. Seriously.
You have to be more cut throat. He should've just been a preacher.
