1. Well I remember a few differences... |
|
Inflation was high, in the 70's, I bought a house at 11% and I thought I got a break compared to the 15-17% that it finally reached
Savings and Loan Companies were paying 5.75% interest on savings
Hand calculators were high tech.
Thongs were a type of FOOTWEAR
Iran was an ally (at least through most of the 70's)
The football Cardinals were in St. Louis
There were 2 Germanies
Russia was a Republic inside the Soviet Union.
Nuclear weapons were something people were trying to make UNusable.
