I was listening to the latest at SGT Report and the guys got it all wrong.  They said the daily wage was a tenth of an ounce of silver.  The Bible gives us some good economics: "And having agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard."  "Two pounds of wheat for a penny, and thrice two pounds of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the wine and the oil."  In the good ol' days the penny was made out of copper, and 10 of them made a dime, which was a 10th of an ounce of silver.  And that penny was a days wage which was good for two square meals and a portion of the rent.  And to withhold or defraud the day laborer of his wages is one of the sins that still cry to heaven for vengeance (just a note for those of you who work for the IRS and similar frauds).  Today, you can get an ounce of silver for two hours of flippin' burgers at Mickey D's.  That is how screwed up the modern economy is...  (I know, silver and gold are just "barbaric relics... so say the sheeple herders...
Back to that two pounds of wheat...   Check out how much many ounces a box of puffed rice weighs, and look at the price.  For about three boxes of puffed rice, you can pick up an ounce of silver.  Many of the morons out there are shelling out money to the Jєωs to inflate their food.  Whatever your poison, Cheerios, King Vitamin, Special K (They have the gall to pretend this stuff is healthy), Frosted Flakes, Sugar Bear (or is it Honey Bear, the more politically correct name), Captain Crunch (including All Berries), Lucky Charms, or Fruityos (The generic stuff is just as bad), you are imbibing Jєω air along with God only knows what else.  And I have heard horror stories about Fast Food I will not repeat here, suffice to say I'll never grace the Golden Arches or any reasonable facsimile again.  (Years ago I worked at  a food plant.  They took bags labeled glycero-dyhydride and malt-dexaderin-cellulane-triphosphate and dumped them in a huge vat, added water, agitated, then sent into a vacuum packer, and out came packages of a name brand diet pudding.  And the whole process was "blessed" at least once by a rabbi while I was there.  Needless to say, I have not touched anything labeled "diet" since and this was before I ever set foot in a Traditional chapel...)
