The dolt is evidently unaware of the adage, "Prosperity (i.e., productivity) leads to high wages; high wages do not LEAD to prosperity." Actually, in 1969 I was working a Shell gas station, making ~$1.65 p/hr., I think that must have been a student wage, as I was 17 at the time -- gas was .25 - .30 a gal, loaf of bread .15 to .25 a loaf, pack of cigs .50 or less, six pack of beer ~.75, etc., rented a two bed apt at 75.00 a month, etc. Now that everything is 10x as much, that would make that $1.65, 16.50 p/hr, and like I said, I believe that was a student wage! That would get us near to fair ... and return us to near sanity as a society. I can honestly say I do NOT believe I would be enjoying the retirement, homes, cars, security, etc. I enjoy now if not for those, back then, knowing what a fair wage is ... perhaps another method to recognize a fair wage is one which will support what it took in past times ... my past experience sure seems to indicate such ... One thing I can say, and for damn sure, I would never have been able to own my own businesses, pay others wages (fair wages) to support families, etc. if those in business, back then, were as stupid and confused as to what a fair wage is, at they are now! And, if I had to compete against the slave labor being used in our prisons, the slave labor of china and other countries, I would doubt I would have been successful! Most can look at that, job/employment history, and be able to figure it out immediately ... others, it seems, will be stuck in confusion or just trying to enslave others to work for poverty wages ... but I damn well know, I lived it, and it wasn't easy -- today, it just looks impossible to me ...

They are cheap and pay for themselves quickly by using a 10th the electricity of a CRT set. |

They are cheap and pay for themselves quickly by using a 10th the electricity of a CRT set. Or, simply, if you can get someone to pay you 12 cents (about the cost of a kilowatt of electricity) an hour to watch TV, you will be able to buy a $1000.00 TV after 8333.333 hours of "work" (viewing the TV), or 1042.666 days at 8 hours of viewing a day ... but, since you old TV probably only drew about 1/3 of a KW of "juice", you can time those figures by about 3 ... which means, the TV will pay for itself in under 9 years!!! I think my flat plasma screen is just fine ... I actually like the picture better than most LEDs I have seen. Regards, JS |
