Progress? You May Remember . . .
This general conundrum was the topic of a family dinner conversation, Friday night last.
How is progress measured?
I.e. Back then, we had chiflotalem @ xxx price; but now we have superchiflotalem mark 7 at a greatly inflated price, but - despite that - we really are so much the better for it.
Back then, national and household debt was measured in the tens of millions;
But now national and household debt is measured in the tens of billions.
But that's O.K. because we're still so much better off for it - RIGHT!?!?
Any other PT forumite recall when:
* it was not possible to buy a new car without overseas funds;
* two NZ dollars bought $2.13 US dollars;
* three murders a year prompted widespread public outrage in/for NZ;
* newspapers told mostly the truth and not hyperbole.
On and on the list might go.
