Too much cheese? You should beg the Almighty for forgiveness for even harboring such a sinful thought! :-)))

Too much cheese?
Nah.
No such thing!

My wife and daughter were making gingerbread cookies, including one shaped like a dog. My wife said "Here comes the little doggie" when she was getting the dog-shaped one ready for the oven.

Our German shepherd immediately jumped up, ran to the door and started her worst, full-throated barking...

Who is "they" and what was "stolen"? Economies run in natural cycles of expansion & retraction. That was the end not only of the post WW2 boom but a major shift in how and where production was performed. Shift happens...
