What I'm saying is that from a work labor impact, the prices haven't gone up much. You used to work most of the day to earn enough, and it is still about the same today but better more capable stuff. Back then $75 is todays $500.

More specifically, 20 years ago groceries were $80 @week for family of 4 including hollow legged always hungry son. Today it's +100, for two and we're eating much more veggies.

I deposit more on SSAN than I ever did driving bus.

Actually neither of us have places of employment.
