One thing I remember from the early 80s was the generic foods aisle. (Where I shopped.) White boxes marked "macaroni and cheese" and cans marked "chili" and "beer." (Mac and cheese? 25 cents, or about 80 cents today.)
That recession, and the unemployment it brought, was brutal.

Wasn't there a point in the early 80's where unemployment in the US approached 10%? Some of my friends from that time have fond memories of unemployment checks, food stamps, and other not so fun things

Yes, they have, and that's a problem. But there are a lot of reasons for it that people don't wanna hear about (including the effect of cohabitating two-income couples that began in the late 80s, and liberal NIMBY policies).
But yes, you could find a cheap flop more easily in the 80s than now.

I'm a deaf person who was alive in the 80's and 90's. While the current day still has significant issues, things are incredibly better access-wise and attitude-wise than they were back then.

The 1980s and 90s were a time of caterwauling about how great the 50s and 60s were, especially from people who weren't black or female, and rarely from people who'd seen the actual inside of a US factory.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

This is a mystery. The Right is all about "morality," meaning personal things like marriage rules, divorce is bad, abortion is murder, etc. But Jesus prioritized loving your "neighbor" (which includes foreigners even of a kind your group doesn't like), being honest, caring, & truthful.
