Old prices of that 1974 catalog, yes; Old WAGES of 1974...dunno; the average middle class family with ONE full-time bread-winner had MORE purchasing power then. If wages actually kept up with productivity improvements and inflation, that should be possible now....reasons why not are numerous. The largest one is this supposed GloBULLization.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !
