The $1 Value Menu at the local fast food joint will now have $20 sodas.
Whoa! Are you trying to tell me that there is a correlation between wages and how much things cost? I thought that economic principles were like Unicorn Farts, lot's of people talk about them, but almost no one really believes in them.......Unicorn Farts that is, unless they're democrats.
You beat me to the punch. I was going to say that $30 will probably buy you a cup of coffee. Sadly dummies with no idea of economics will buy into his high school politics
The $1 Value Menu at the local fast food joint will now have $20 sodas. ......................... You always get the raise suggestions when election time comes around. ............................ Sadly it means nothing, everyone raises the cost of living and everything goes up. It can just go on for ever. Its cheap to print paper. I remember the value menu in 1961, 3 hamburgers, french fries and a milkshake. You gave the counter person $1 and you got 15 cents in change. If you ordered 4 hamburgers instead of 3, no change. The working class will remain the working class unless they find a better way and become the owner class. My lesson from life, the salaries increase, but you only end up spinning wheels complaining that the car you just bought cost as much as your first house 20-35 yrs ago. In my case the first new car I bought was a 65’Datsun for 1500, my house cost 15K. What does a new car cost today, and a house? I was earning about 5200 a year at the time. As my salaries went up, so did that 15 cent hamburger. This jerk is offering pie in the sky, and is seeking votes from people who have’t learned $#!t.
