[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1570905, member: 112"]Jaun, just out of curiosity, what is the point of all this ? Or do you have a point ? Sure it's kinda fun to study what things used to costs in days gone by, but it seems like with all these posts of yours that you are trying to make a point. But I have no idea what that point might be, don't think anybody else does either. Throughout history the prices of things have changed, often drastically and in very short periods of time. But there were always reasons for those changes, sometimes widely varied reasons. Pretty much everybody knows that and agrees with it. But you don't have to go back 2000 years to see it. Sure you can if you want to, you can go back as far as you want or in the past 12 months and see the same thing - prices change and fluctuate all the time. In today's world the price of grains can go up 200-300% or more in just a few months. Or they can drop just as drastically and just as fast. That's no different than what happened 2,000 years ago. So really, what's your point ?[/QUOTE]
