Dig a little and you’ll probably find that a hamburger today is considered equivalent to a tractor or milling machine, bolt of cloth, or a television set, etc.
— A fact free assertion. Why don’t you do the digging and present a link to the evidence for this?
Those making the claim are responsible for providing proofs for that claim, not the other way around! Still, given the wholesale offshoring of whole swaths of industries - textiles, steel, electronics - and rapid inshoring of lower paid workers in huge numbers - I find it difficult to accept official government numbers on several fronts, but I’m in pretty good company.
