    Nice to see the OLD Science Centre, before the Weston Family "refit." I miss that old Laser Exhibit and the holograms so it was really nice to see those here in this video. Did you know that Rick Green of the Frantics (who was "Bill" on the Red Green Show) used to be the presenter of that old laser show?

      Wait… I watched that show every week … they knew me by name back in the late 70’s early 80’s. I have several pieces of woof and plexi STILL from those demos.

      Those orange lights plus motion sickness always made that route an ordeal for me as a kid.

    Before hyperinflation eroded the middle class.

    • @ducttape82
      @ducttape82 6 місяців тому +4

      Hyperinflation didn’t erode the middle class, inflation has been at historic lows for a very long time apart from a couple years during covid.
      Wages not keeping up with inflation, even as low as that inflation has been since the 90s is what has eroded the middle class, along with a spike in housing costs.
