*Daddy paid $5 for an average field hand per day and $6 for the best around 1961. I received $6, so I was kidded that I was only worth $5, but since I was Dr. T's son, I got $6!:) $5 then is worth $391936. Migrant peafield workers on the road in California.Migrant field hands typically made *two to two and a half dollars a day, about forty bucks in 2013 dollars. Said another way, a family of four able hands made around eight hundred dollars, equivalent, for five day's work.
and $6 = $47 today.

Bystander in Chief Obama -
His brief legislative career was about voting "present" because he
prefers to be absent when accountability knocks... He reemerges only
after the shooting stops and the smoke clears: gnosis personified, here
to diagnose our failings. He is not a commander-in-chief for the battle
but the armchair general of the post mortem.

Suddenly, the same mainstream press that for a half-decade had served as
Barack Obama’s hagiographers, water carriers, bootlickers, lawn
jockeys, shoeshine boys, livery drivers, toadies, stooges, and secret
election committee…the same ones who’d dismissed all criticism of their
big-eared saint as smelly hillbilly racism…the same ones who’d
previously scoffed at the New Black Panthers case, Fast and Furious, and
Benghazi as Republican-manufactured piffle…suddenly, it seemed as if
Obama had flashed his fangs and bit them on the buttocks, leading them
to act like teenage girls whose lover had cheated on them.

In the end, the Soviet economy was so utterly
fraudulent that the final breakdown of the system came as a complete
surprise to many in political and economic fields of the era. This is
what happens when governments control all source data for financial
statistics; transparency dies and collapse creeps in.
