Re: TV Shopping at Sams Club - WOW Inflation
An aside --- I was in Nuernberg during the collapse of the Warsaw Pact. Before the wall came down, East Germans would do down thru Czech and into Austria and Germany. Much easier borders with less chance of getting shot. During the rush, we'd go out to the autobahn and watch Trabis and Wartburgs tootling up the highway piled high with all these people's belongings. Inspiring and tragic at the same time. Soon the roads of West Germany were littered with deserted broken down DDR cars. Then the wall came down and West Germany was littered with East Germans expecting the new state to care for them as had the old one they hated so much. That was tragic.
