-Smoking in-doors ban
-Seat belt laws
-Gold standard ended in 1971
-de industrialization and reliance on China began in the 1990s

The bigger scam IMO was the "smoking section" separated by a partition that was only 4 feet off the ground that people just rolled with for years.

Credit scores are probably considered even more of a scam now.

100% a scam.

When the same company that maintains and sets your score advertises a service they sell that allows you to pay to raise your score... THAT'S A SCAM.

The scam is the pretense that credit scores have much to do with anything other than measuring how much money banks can expect to make off of you.

Our Cracker Barrell is so old that the glass is still there between the lattice work that split the smoking section back 1/3 from the non-smoking front 2/3 in the dining area.
