Sorry, but this is just wrong. Yes, what’s happening today is a debacle. But in terms of actual effects on day to day life, Carter’s tenure was worse. The inflation back then was way worse. And few who are alive today got to experience long lines just to get some gas. I could go on and on.

This part was really bad. But we certainly had a lot more freedom, a lot less big brother, and a lot less regulation.

At least all of that eventually subsided, not to return until now (inflation) and I’ve never seen gas lines outside of hurricanes.

You think any of the stuff in the past few years is just going away in the internet age? You think the fight to ban gas appliances and all of that will just stop and reverse? No way. What’s happening now feels far more permanent. Maybe I’ll eat my words in 20 years.
