In 1980 as a house Carpenter, if I did not like the crew I worked with, I
could quit at noon, and after lunch start a new non-union Job at $24.00 an
hour. By 1990 you would be lucky to find and start a Job for $15.00 an hour.
It is worse now because the Federal Reserve Note unbacked by gold is worth
less, $1.00 minimum wage in 1960 with gold at $35.27 an ounce, is equal to
the buying power of $18.60 an hour with gold now $650.00 an ounce. Now if
you make less than $18.60 an hour, you will go bankrupt. They did this
because of the end of the Arms Race with the Soviet Union meant they would
have to pay less to workers to keep the Industrial Military Complexes
running, and all the conflicts in the middle east are just so the Industrial
Military Complexes will stay in business.
