   The US has had it too good and easy for the last 50 or so years.   
   Growing up most homes had one TV and an outside antenna for free TV.   
      
   Now there are usually a TV for each person or more.  Just the wife and I   
   here and we have 3 TV sets and a pay TV service for about $ 150 a month   
   .  That is around $ 1800 a year just to watch TV so in around 4 years   
   that TV wtching would be the $ 6000 .   
      
   Where I worked a number of people were let go due to low demand for the   
   product which is now made in other countries.  Some were hired back by a   
   tempory service company at wages less than what they were making.  I   
   asked one why he came back with reduced wages and benefits.  He said   
   that even though making $ 3 less per hour it beats no dollars per hour.   
   That was about 20 years ago.   
      
   The fast food and other eating places are about to price theirselves out   
   of business especially if the wages are going up to the $ 20 range.  NOw   
   the tips are expected to be 20 % and up instead of the older 10 % for   
   service.
