No, I was checking your intelligence quotient.
Burgers used to cost around $.5 cents. So $.15 cents a frame would buy you 3 burgers. Burgers today cost a little bit over a dollar. How much would you make with each frame today?
I'm not convinced.
At that time, calculators were obviously an investment and they weren't as necessary as today.

I'm not convinced.
Pin Setters are now automatic, so I don't know, and no Burgers cost $0.17 cents, fries were $0.11 cents, and Coke was a Dime.
Really? now just why is the need any less then, versus now? Calculators go back to stones followed by the Abacus, man has always had a need for calculators, do you know what we used for advanced math before the electronic calculator ?

Even MORE great economic news: U.S. Economy: Payrolls Increase More Than Forecast. Yay. 
From Dec. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Employers in the U.S. hired more workers than forecast in November, lessening pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by half a point next week.
Payrolls rose by 94,000 after an increase of 170,000 in October. The jobless rate remained at 4.7 percent for the third month in a row. Gains in wages and employment may help prop up spending.
It buys the economy time and allows the Fed to lower rates without panicking. The economy is slowing down in the fourth quarter, but not so rapidly that you're going to have a big down-draft in consumer spending.
Doomsayers keep decrying the economy is falling off a cliff. It's not. It's not gonna. Google, Rockwell, and GE are among companies adding to payrolls. Record demand for U.S. goods and services from buyers abroad has helped buttress employment.
Service industries, which include banks, insurance companies, restaurants and retailers, added 127,000 workers last month.
Retailers added 24,200 jobs, the first increase in four months.
Google said third-quarter profit jumped more than analysts estimated. They added 2,130 employees in the quarter.
Government payrolls increased by 30,000 during the month.
Hourly wages rose 8 cents, or 0.5 percent, on average to $17.63 in November and were up 3.8 percent from a year earlier. Economists had expected a 0.3 percent increase for the month.

all of these tend to be lower paying jobs the jobs being lost are higher paying owns. Number of jobs is important but what those jobs are is just as important. We are losing high tech jobs and they aren't being replaced that is why people say the american economy is hurting.
Our economy is doing great DESPITE 50 million criminal aliens being here stealing American jobs. I'd say W is performing a miracle.
you don't get what i'm saying lets say we lose 50 jobs that pay 100k a year and than we get 125 jobs that pay 40k a year. has the economy really recovered, nope. also i would like to see you do the jobs the illegals do.
Hell would freeze over first.
so if an illegal is willing to do it and your not how did they steal it from you.
They didn't steal it from me. They stole it from construction workers, cleaning ladies, roofers, etc...They stole it from AMERICANS who had the jobs before the criminal alien pukes slithered across the border. Legal immigrants are fine for working the fields. Criminal aliens are NOT fine for undercutting Americans and taking their jobs for a fraction of the money. Ugh.
