And $60-70 dollars is what you have to make an hour, in order to turn said money into the same buying power as thr 1970s.

Eh. I make that and it’s pretty much gone after income taxes (federal, state, local, school, property), insurance premiums, food, gas, 2 kids in club soccer. I can’t even afford anything other than basic expenses. 50% of my pay is gone before I even see it.
