What A Time To Be Alive

[Captain Peter Blood]

While the article points out the disadvantages I still would like to live in that era if I had that kind of money. Certainly a more interesting time.

May I suggest the essay from Bill Whittle called Sanctuary? Unfortunately, the originals are not readily available any more, although you can find them in the book “Silent America”

A little over halfway through is a scene in which the Pharaoh Cheops encounters a 7-11 store in the middle of the desert. It is quite relevant to the topic here.

The whole essay is well worth the read, as are any of Bill Whittle’s other writings. A copy can be found here...

Of course, there is no doubt, but there is some deception to articles like this. I would contend we should compare NOW to 1975.

Keys goods we can track, say like bread and fruit for food, automobiles, ect, have risen in price faster than income has since 1975. In 1975 a single income earner could have a family, two cars, and live quite comfortably.

Now our houses are smaller, cars much more expensive, and many families are struggling on TWO incomes.
