#15 I was looking at prices from the 1930's America, and a year (12) of haircuts would cost $150, but now costs that for a single haircut. So, the value of each cut is no longer $10 because there are so many things that a barber has to pay for that they never paid for in the past (insurance, rent, utilities, workers comp, special taxes, licences, schooling, etc).
