And a good thing! Everything was shit in 1964. Cars, computers, retail logistics, cancer treatments, surgical techniques, metallurgy, airplanes, the telephone network, movies, animation, TV, air conditioning, the relative strength of the USSR: all shit.
It all needed to be burned to the ground to get the wonders we live with today. If Grandma Retard's pass-book account had to go with it, so be it. If the deflationists had their way, we'd still be using stable, value-preserved stone knives and bear skins.
