Gas will be $2.50, but the burger will be $19.95
Things change, I recall that my family’s first TV cost about two months wages for my father. A month’s electricity back then cost about half a day’s wages for him or a little more and the programming was free once you paid for an antenna. Now anyone with a minimum wage job can buy a nice TV for a week’s pay or less but the month’s electric may cost two days pay and almost everyone is paying a cable bill that no one in the old days would have even considered paying and the programming is lousy except for the reruns of fifty year old shows.
