80's Anyone?
THREE WORDS: GREED IS GOOD! During the 80's economic deconstruction increased in the developed world and multiple multinational corporations relocated to third world countries benefiting with large economic gain through lower wages and benefits. And, as H. Ross Perot would soon famously add: "That giant sucking sound you hear is your jobs going South."
Meanwhile back at the ranch, things were disintegrating: Cocaine, AIDS, Supply-Side, Live Aid, Farm Aid, Falklands, Grenada, El Salvador, Glasnost, Berlin Wall, Tiananmen Square, USENET, ATARI, GUI, MS-DOS, HTTP, CAFE, MTV, ET, HBO, PTL, PLO, WWF, WTF, NAFTA, Iran-Contra, Ollie North, Greenpeace, Pan Am Flight 103, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand (all gained independence!), Just Say No, Crack Babies, Air Traffic Controllers, Hunger Strikes, Marcos, Helmsley, Hinkley, St Helens, Challenger, Korean Flight 007, Bhopal, Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, Mario, Boombox, Halley's Return, Faulty O-Ring, Yugo, K-Cars, Mini Vans, DeLoreans, Solidarity, Junk Bonds, Trump, Milken, Black Monday, Keating 5, Thriller, Dallas, Cassettes, Madonna, Drum Machines, Grandmaster Flash, Curt Cobain, Karen Carpenter, 750 Million People Watched Prince Chas Marry Lady Diana, Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, Olympic Boycotts, 49'ers, Magic-Byrd, Pac-Man, Member's Only, Mullets, Rubik's Cube, Leg Warmers, Brick Phones, Swatch.....It was a decade of excess and paybacks, not to mention hangovers!
Personally, I was pretty busy raising a family and developing my career so missed out on a lot of the extreme side of it, but it was definitely all around me wherever I went, and the shambles of it linger here and there, including in my 80's ANYONE? shop! So go ahead and try on the crown of Post-Modern Capitalism for a while to see how it feels:
