Yep, the 2020s are nothing like the cheery 1970s when we could all “Do a little dance, make a little love, Get down tonight.”

In the 1970’s we didn’t have millions of immigrants, legal and illegal pouring in here.

Yeah, at least there was some escape for a while with the music and TV shows of the time. I was a kid in the 1970's, became a teen in 1979. I remember the 1979 gas crunch, Mom needed gas for work so I was abandoned at my paternal grandmother's for almost a week, missed almost all the first week of 7th grade junior high. Still, grandma and I had fun in her garden, reading her parapsychology books, going to downtown Pittsburgh on the bus, etc. She worked at the Clark Bar factory on the Northside of Pittsburgh, we always had candy too. At family gatherings, us kids would be in the cellar and I was the youngest and the baby of the group so they sent me up for more candy.
