The 80s were anxiety inducing because the specter of war was then high until the Soviet Union collapsed on itself, so throughout the 90s and the naughts a nuke war wasn't going to happen even with North Korea trying to rattle sabers.

Instead and beginning last year we now have madmen on hair triggers, and if it's not a third world war, then a prospect of another American civil war where there's a high potential of causing a global economic catastrophe.

The 90s and the naughts were actually a pretty good time... we did too little to ensure that continued, in so so many ways.
