    Apparently $50 in 1950 has buying power of $650 today. That is incredible. Was university education subsidized then in the USA?

    As a younger Brit i had no idea about Carol before she was announced to appear in Better Call Saul, and i was immediately blown away by her acting. I could also see that it was a big deal to have her in the show.

    “Movies were my salvation, because they were so optimistic,” and I’m thinking, people with similar difficulties are screwed today.
