I remember back in 1994 when minimum wage was $4.25/hr and a Burger King whopper was $0.99 then until a year or so ago I believe minimum wage here in Florida was around $8.25/hr but I think it's up to $10/hr now but I won't say that 100% since I've worked for myself for over 10 years now and haven't had to punch a time clock in a long time.
My point to this comment though is that in 1994 if you worked for 1 hour at minimum wage you could buy 4 whoppers for that 1 hour of wages. Today if you worked 1 hour you would only be able to buy 2 whoppers with that 1 hour of wages.
The value of beef probably hasn't gone up since 1994, if anything as society improves ways to have more meats distributed it would seem as if the value should be even lower than it would have been in 1994. However, we see the price of that beef having gone up 400% or more and wages barely exceeding 200% since then.
I remember when gas was $0.69 per gallon and a day ago I paid $3.45 per gallon for gas. The horrible inflation is highly noticeable everywhere but unfortunately not enough people seem to care and are just like fuck it whatever it is what it is type of nonsense.
