I dispute the examples because you provide nothing to back them up.
If you ever studied statistic or economics then you know exactly what I am talking about. Heck, if you have taken Consumers Math you know why I say you can not determine anything from those two data points you have provided.
I am not your professor. I am not going to walk you through basic statistics or basic economics.
You didn't even understand when I broke it down for you in post 73 and again in post 157.
You stated that The 1950s were a more prosperous period for the nation.
I have provided you with a number of facts that refute that and yet you can not understand them.
Forget it...he just wants to waste our time with drivel. He doesn't even know what he's arguing about anymore;if he ever did.
On what basis? For all the numbers I gave you, which do you think are wrong, and why?
you can not determine anything from those two data points
It was a lot more than two. Some major purchases. Some that just seem like it because of the present cost. You're trying to argue something so at odds with reality that you painted yourself into a corner. Clearly, inflation has outraced any increase in wages over the same period. Where there was the exception, which I've pointed out repeatedly, had other industries or another gone the same way, they'd be giving away cars for free.
But I've said this all, many, many times now. And all you seem content to do is have me repeat myself, rather than reply to what I wrote.
So.
