For car prices in 1970 and today, read post 1 and 4 , still think that old cars were cheaper back then?

As for post 36 in the current thread, I'm on a slow connection and can can't view the link. if cars never wore out, where would all the auto workers, repair techs , parts store people be working? If appliances never wore out, where would people in that field work?

If it wasn't for a person taking a risk, opening a business and hiring help, where would the vast majority of people be working?

A person can complain that " the big man is holding the little man down" Or they can work on becoming not so little, it's your choice.
