Fuck me, talk about blinders!

Everybody's just as greedy as then, if not more... I think the only difference is that fewer people, per capita, can afford to flaunt it to the degree greed was flaunted in the eighties. The rich are still getting richer, and a "5ive Star" hoody costs as much as an Armani sweater, so who's kidding who?

And now that shoulder pads are coming back, I doubt we'll notice much of a difference.

on edit: so no more of this "I'm so glad we've evolved since the materialistic eighties" nonsense, okay? Or do I have to come down there.
