Exactly. While millions were crammed in small rooms, 4-6 people in each and got pregnant through simple skin touch like some worms do and knew nothing of forbidden by communism pleasures of flesh, others (we won't mention names here) spent time in luxurious hotels somewhere in mountains savouring capitalistic propaganda. It is like having a feast amidst the plague, Pawian. How dare you to be so insensative and vulgar? ;)

Nope. An ordinary citizen with a family in US. I remember it exactly, it was enough to sell 400$ (four hundred) in the black market to be able to support oneself for a year, including food, flat rent and bills, Fiat 126p car, studies, girlfriend, dog, holidays, and 3 days in a luxurious hotel. :):):):)
Average salary then was 25$ by black market prices.
