The way I see it your last sentence needs to be flipped around - our society's cost of living hasn't been held back by wages. Cell phones, satellite TV, electronic gadgets, $5 cups of "coffee", $50,000 vehicles (and that's being frugal - think of all the $70,000+ pickups you see cruising down the roads), huge houses, etc., all eat up cash until there's nothing left to put away.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
