LET’S BRING BACK THE 5 CENT CANDY BAR
When politicians particularly members of today’s in name only democrat party started pushing for a higher minimum wage. The focus should have been on purchasing power of the lowest coin of the realm. Each time it was passed the price of an item like an individual candy bar and everything else increased. What began at 5 cents in the 1940’s steadily increased to what it is today. The result has always been since it began devaluing the purchasing power of the dollar.
I remember buying Bazooka gum decades ago; it had gone from three cents to five cents, and they cut out segments (so the piece was smaller than the package would indicate).
I also remember an astute FReeper posting a picture of two packages of the same toilet paper side by side; they had narrowed noticeably.
