Going to be some tough sledding here in our state. I wasn’t here in the mid 80s but I’ve heard nothing that makes me yearn for them (from the economy standpoint). Probably be some good deals on toys coming up ...
What rost said was spot on, 86, yeah it was slow, i was a working stiff with kids, found work, went to work. Didn't do much else... got through it just fine... i think the nation has gotten use to safety nets and learned to count on them... realistically thats socialism. Fairbanks is pretty slow right now, driving around reminds me of what it use to be around here in the winter 30 years ago... kinda like it actually...
Still working, probably have to work a bit longer cuz of this, but glad I can still work.
Interesting side note. Due to people staying home, there is a lot less gasoline being burnt.. and less people dying in road related deaths... pretty crazy
