This is from the Carpe Diem site written by Mark J.
Perry. Manufacturing workers can now buy 11 appliances
with 152 hours of labor what used to cost them 886 hours
of labor back in 1959.


Who has 11 appliances? I have 5. Stove, Refrig, Washer, Dryer,
Microwave. That's it. (Unless a TV, Stereo, Radio, Toaster, Electric
Frying pan, or Computer is considered an appliance... There are only 2
more appliances that I can think of, which I dont have. A Dishwasher and
a Freezer. What else is there..... To make 11 of them???

It depends of how do you define "appliance". Electric toothbrush? Toilet?

"He" obviously didn't read the article. That's the problem with trolls...

I suspect MOST people have a:
- washing machine
- dryer
- refrigerator
- stove
- vacuum cleaner
- color TV

Some may no longer have a toaster -- or, may have a toaster OVEN, instead.
Or, a blender. I don't have a coffee maker cuz I drink tea (As Fr. Guido
Sarducci would advertise: Mr Tea)

And, there may be some uncertainty over:
- dishwasher
- freezer
