A Look at The Past
Here's a nostalgic column by Cindy Adams about life in 1913 compared to today: "Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, excluding holiday buffets
Americans spend 14 percent of today’s income on food. In 1913, women
didn’t vote, didn’t work, didn’t have freezers, microwaves, computers
and before the atom bomb, smartphones, moon landing, color TV, iPads and
reality housecretins, and before couples’ double jobs, the families
were larger and average annual salary smaller at $800." They also didn't have Obamacare back then!
