#13  #11 Yes, under the first Biden Admin aka the Carter Admin, we were also descending into chaos. 1979 was the nadir.

Hyperinflation, military - diplomatic debacles, soaring crime, the precursors to Woke madness...

America was falling apart in 1979, as it is now under the Second Carter Administration -- though in Jimmy's defense, he supported the research that yielded fracking and he also deregulated the airline industry. He wasn't nearly so inept, Woke or outright retarded as the current regime of lunatics

#12  I was at the Who show in Pittsburgh the night before "The Stampede in Cincinnati." Given the way the crowd was that night, I was not surprised by the following night's news.

#11  So, Merrick, were we also a third world country in 1979 when a majority white audience stampeded just to get into a Who concert?
