    Boomers lived through plenty of horrors. Vietnam, deindustrialization, the Volcker Shock, leaded gasoline/paint, AIDS...

    The 1970s was a fucked decade.

    The 20th century in general is kind of unfathomably different from most of the rest of history. It was a wild time to be alive.

    You could say, humanity learned how to REALLY fuck around.

    We are now REALLY finding out.
