Reagan. It's always Reagan.

Gosh dammit, isn't it always‽ I know beforehand, corruption in the late 70's laid the groundwork that culminated in the finishing move that was Reagan upending everything, but it's crazy how destructive his reign was, and how we're still dealing with the consequences, and how there are still people that think anything he did was remotely good for the people.

For our overseas brethren, replace with Thatcher. Total monster.

Yeah, I'm curious about the true effects dereg had on the tech industry as a whole. Like, would we still have gotten PCs in our households like we did? Or would the government have say, cracked down harder on Microsoft and Apple monopolies?

I wonder if there's any way we can really know. Because if we can see where it went wrong, maybe we can paint a clearer picture of how it could be turned right...
