The 80s, when Reagan came in, I hear stories all the time from boomers about how, like, I was a manager at McDonald's and had a family of five and made good money and had two weeks vacation.
At the end of the 70s, the economy was screwed up.
Interest rates were through the roof.

But...
The reason, I will say this, the reason why people weren't rioting in the 80s was not because of the reason you just made up.

Carter was bad.
Reagan gets in.
Interest rates were still very high.
