numbers without context mean little or nothing
the POINT was that in 1968, one hour of labor at minimum wage paid for 7.8 gal of gasoline or 7.8 loaves of bread
today, one hour of labor at minimum wage pays for 2 gal of watered down gasoline or 2 loaves of crappy fake bread
our LABOR
our blood, sweat, and tears
have been DEVALUED by 75%
at the same time
quality goods have been replaced
by inferior quality and toxic swill
>because they were listening ever since cable boxes
loosen that tinfoil cap
it's cutting off blood to your brain
they got away with it bcs free enterprise and fair market competition were DESTROYED BY CAPITALISM
the biggest bully in town bought out all the competition, and then trash and swill were the only thing left on the store shelves
if djt wants to play-act like former presidents, he needs to take on the crusade of teddy roosevelt
and DESTROY MONOPOLIES
>but that the Dollar has lost its value and now takes more Dollars to buy the same thing or service.
it's YOU that's still missing the point
lemme get a crayon and see if i can draw you a picture…
the PROBLEM is that inflation has grown 400% faster than wages
if those two things grew at the same rate
then IT WOULDN'T MATTER what the number on the price tag says

read that again
then RE-READ it as many times as it takes
for it to register in your malfunctioning synaptic junctions
>Go fuck yourself, ya stupid devil-dicksucking jackass
thank you for demonstrating your intelligence and sense of decorum for all to see
QED
>Frens, I think you are arguing at cross purposes
not really
fiatanon is too triggered to THINK about what i'm saying
if a loaf of bread costs 1¢ and you get paid 1¢/hr at your job
how is that any different than if
a loaf of bread costs $1million and you get paid $1million/hr?
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
the ONLY relevant yardstick is how is your labor is valued in terms of what your wages can buy
the "dollar value" is utterly irrelevant
>You ignore that YOU made the fist insult
i said "lemme get a crayon"
YOU are the triggered rage-aholic who exploded with vuglar ad hominem name calling, laced with sexual references
are you afraid to come out of the closet, fegele
oh, yes, i understand what you're saying
i'm well aware
i didn't mean to diminish your added insight
but it was like throwing more sacks of cargo on a dead horse
fiat anon couldn't grasp that he was trying to reduce everything to fiat currency
and ignoring the relevant correlation between
labor vs buying power
i was trying to get him to grasp algebra
you came along and threw calculus at us both
stupid coward begins to see the lightbulb come on
lacks humility and integrity to admit blunder gracefully
a person with real character would thank me for the lesson
>And your still wrong
no…
my still right
make good moonshine
at least i comprehend the distinction between "your" and "you're"
keep posting
everyone is having a good laugh at your fit of retardation
concur
let ME just add
no meaningful change will occur
until the pedos are all hanged in public executions
their assets redistributed from the bottom up
and the babylonian debt slavery system abolished permanently
until those things happen, this is all just a pacification psyop circle-jerk
