Back in the late 1970s you could buy a Hamburger, Fry and Small Drink for 95 cents. Not so today. Marxism at work again.

Let me know when you're done with the making shit up and we'll talk.

what did I make up??

Predicted in 1996.

1996 ad perfectly predicted today’s high cost-of-living. What it means for the next 30 years — and how to plan

“They say in thirty years a burger & fries could cost $16, a vacation $12,500, and a basic car $65,000.”

1996 ad perfectly predicted today’s high cost-of-living. What it means for the next 30 years — and how to plan.​

They say in thirty years a burger & fries could cost $16, a vacation $12,500, and a basic car $65,000.”

Those predictions were made in 1996, nearly 30 years ago, by the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (TIAA) and College Retirement Equities Fund (CREF) in a magazine ad that recently went viral on Reddit for its scary accuracy.

I honestly do not think you are intelligent enough to have this discussion so I am going to deal with you in the most realistic manner.

Yeah, with China Joe Bribem, this ad could perfectly predict what is coming in the near future.

WhenI was in 3rd grade, I could buy an order of French fries and a coke for $0.26 cents. The fries were $0.15 cents, the coke was $0.10 cents and tax was a penny.

Two things come to mind when I read this...one is you are old as dirt and two is how the hell do you remember what your parents paid for something when you were in the 3rd grade.

I literally could not tell you what I paid for something last week.

I wish you could see the irony of someone usings a 3rd grade nickname like that talking about the IQ of other people.

But sadly you are too fucking stupid to get irony.

Easy, I paid for it myself out of my allowance. I walked home every day after school and would stop by Murphey's Car Hop to get French fries and a coke.

Yep, do did it. Could not tell you how much a damn thing cost. The only thing I remember from back then was my first car cost me 500 bucks

I still pay for everything myself and I could not tell you how much the eggs milk that I bought yesterday cost

When I first got my learners permit, gas was $0.29 cents a gallon.

That's nice.

Have no clue how much gas was when I got mine. Just put gas in my car this morning, cost me 42 bucks, no idea what the per gallon cost was.

sounds like the women that said gas hasnt gone up because I put twenty dollars in everytime the needle gets close to empty,,

Yep, me and honest Abe walked 27 miles to the library every day and ate bark off them trees along the way just to get enough nourishment to make it back home again. And these young 'uns are belly aching because daddy didn't install electric doors on the garage.

Why shoot, I just make sure to park my car on a hill with the front wheels pointed against the curb.

Most billionaires had to trample and destroy others to reach that status.

I maintain they shouldn't be a thing.

Most billionaires are Democrats.

 

[Crepitus]

Doesn't matter. Billionaires should not be a thing.

whos going to pay all those workers making luxury yachts and private jets??

thats got to be hundreds of thousands of jobs when you include post production services,,

why do you hate the working class??

 

[AZrailwhale]

Yes, but what was the hourly wage back then.

I'm in no way defending $15-20 dollar an hour minimum wages, but I do wonder what the minimum wage was back then.

Those machines at McDonalds aren't going to eliminate that many employees. Only the order takers.

$1.65

 

[AZrailwhale]

Yeah, you guys liked it when blacks were considered 3/5 of a person. This is why your blob embraces white nationalists and other hate groups.

Do you recall him telling them to “stand by” during the debate where Biden kicked his ass back in 2020, right? Hollie doesn’t....perhaps you can educate her.

Free Blacks counted as full people. SLAVES were considered three fifths of a person for the purposes of deciding congressional representation. Since they couldn’t vote, they shouldn’t have been counted at all. Just like legal residents and illegal aliens shouldn’t be counted in the census today because they can’t vote.

 

[initforme]

Low wage jobs don't need to be done and the employers of those jobs will tell you this. They don't really need the jobs done.

 

[rampart]

MSN Can you ever imagine when Ray Kroc first opened his business, that a hamburger was only 5 cents. It was such a novel idea that you could drive up to the store and have your lunch ready in less than 3 minutes and very affordable. But alas, minimum wages, which were meant for college kids and the elderly who had a retirement but still wanted to work, had to be elevated till a "Livable Wage", because Marxist must force companies to bow down to their will or else be punished with fines and possible expulsion. So we see dollar menu morph into the 25 dollar meal deal. This is what you get when Joe Biden voters steal an election.

under capitalism prices are set by supply and demand. demand for hamburgers increases the price.

if you were describing "communism," would the price be set by the government ? or would there be a price at all?
