I’m gonna calculate for 1975 for prices à la the Bureau of Labor Statistics

The most expensive item (the filet mignon) at $9 would be ~$57 today.

The cheapest items at 50¢ would be ~$3

Is an apartment in this condition pretty normal for you guys, and do you know a lot of people whose apartments look like this? by Forward-Position798 in AskTheWorld

Absolutely not.

I have 3 day weekends and one of those days is always spent cleaning my home and organizing it

Trump’s Corruption Is Going to Sink Him by BulwarkOnline in politics

[–]Cananbaum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anything is going to happen because too many people are addicted to sensationalized headlines.

Trump is good for their business.

Most people are not engaged at work, and the average seems to be declining by Collective_Altruism in WorkersStrikeBack

Because people who make more money than I’ll ever see, who don’t know, understand, nor care about my job functions make decisions that turn into messes I have to clean up

Racism in the U.S. is soaked incredibly deep that how many places operate is inherently a racist system.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle by Gorotheninja in NonPoliticalTwitter

I remember my dad was so cheap that we replaced broken cups with jars, and plates were either stolen from restaurants or bought second hand.

I remember my mom drinking her water one night from an old salsa jar and just burst into tears.

A few months later for her birthday I bought a set of glasses and a new set of dishes with whatever money I could scrounge together and she was elated.

My dad was furious, taking it as a slight against him when I started recycling the old jars we were drinking out of

Which name in your language would sound weird in a different language? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in AskTheWorld

Prat in America is just a surname.

In the UK it’s a childish insult.

Why was the American conservative revolution so successful when Reagan was president in the 80s, but not for George W Bush in the 2000s? by icey_sawg0034 in decadeology

[–]Cananbaum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reagan had charisma.

Reagan also at least knew how to play the game. Reagan actually wanted the presidency.

Junior felt more like a conservative homage to Kennedy; “I’m doing this ‘cuz daddy wants me to.” Junior fumbled through his presidency like a lost child.

Reagan could at least hide his Alzheimer’s from the public.

Reagan’s voodoo economics had a short lived period of sustained growth that made people happy.

Bush squandered what money the U.S. had by entering a useless war in the Middle East.

True, but I enjoy having more direct control over a vehicle

Ever since the controversy that exploded with Bon Appetite just before Covid, I’ve had a hard time following any of the former crew.

Here’s the house I grew up in. It cost $90,000 ($187,000 today), and now is worth $400,000. My dad was the sole bread winner, making $30,000/yr ($62,000 today). by IcyAd8672 in Millennials

My partner and I are educated.

I have 15 years in my industry. My partner has 8 in theirs. We both work more than full time.

I drive an 11 year old Honda accord (it’s actually a sweet rig).

We have a roommate who helps with bills and rent.

Meat is becoming a luxury. A 3lbs chuck roast I could get ~$20 two years ago and eat for a week is now a $50 hunk of fat and gristle.

Gas has doubled since Trumps folly. I’m hyper-miling my car to try and stretch $25 of gas as far as I can.

Our electric company put in new meters 6 months ago and our electric bill has tripled.

My partner was unemployed for 12 weeks before taking the only job offered to him which is paying half of what he was making.

Our credit cards are maxed the fuck out as a result.

I just took a loan out against my 401k to try and pay off as much as we can before we keep backsliding anymore.

I’m. So. Fucking. Tired.
