Did the price of a loaf of bread play a role?

Too bad those French didn't have the delicious and cheap bread from the Sam's Club division of Wal-Mart. My wife brings home their wonderful rotisserie baked WHOLE chickens...already cooked for $5.99! 70 years ago, chicken was something the rich ate. (Herbert Hoover: "a chicken in every pot") I'm amazed at how cheap products are compared with decades ago.

My young son got his first parttime job last summer, at Wal-Mart. Was paid something like $9.30 an hour to start for a clean, safe and fairly easy job that he enjoyed.

Revol...? Not when half of America owns stock and unemployment is near zero.

Does the web need the 50,000th online software seller? Sometimes it's smarter to move on.
