the 1930s were a "norm" for business practices.

You've created some straw man in your mind, rather than read a word of what I've written. I've not going to keep repeating myself. We're going to just have to agree to disagree.

Please go read YOUR post at #131...therein,you stated :"THE '30S WERE THE NORM IN THIS REGARD."

I have created nothing;let alone a straw-man argument. I have stated facts,quoted your own words, and it is not a simple case of "agree to disagree",when you are NOT saying anything valid nor credible. Wake up,take off your blinders,and look at reality for a change.
