:: the rash of airplane hijackings in the 1970s ::

I said it over on twitter...
Welcome to the “new” normal...of 1976.

Gas lines
Middle East unrest (Iran)
Israel terrorism
Hijackings

Deja Vu, all over again.
(with apologies to Mr. Berra)

I hadn’t even thought to connect the two!

Also from the 1970s which appear to be on the horizon:

Inflation
High interest rates
High unemployment (I think this is already here but they’re not counting it correctly)
