Is anyone old enough here who remembers what stagflation was like in the 70s?

I remember the recession in the 90s, it wasn't great. Very boring for a long time, just getting out of university with a useless degree.

Eventually I did score an interesting first job as a marketing manager of a strip club, just when tabletop dancing became a thing - so I wasn't complaining.
