It's stunning to shop for groceries today. The cheapest apples are $1.00 each??? I remember when apples were a nickel each. Russet potatoes were ten cents a pound.
To keep wages in line with the conditions in the 1950s, minimum wage should be around $24 an hour.
The Republicans oppose abortion, meaning they support having lots of kids. How can you raise a bunch of kids with food prices like this?
Better not have any kids. You can't afford one.
@shuttersparks And given how much my 14yro eats, it's amazing I have enough money left over to pay my mortgage.
@ajbobo Well, that's what 14 year-olds do: eat. I remember when I was one such and remember the astonishing amount of food I and my friends would eat in one sitting. My three are now approaching middle-age and were the same way. The eldest two are tall and skinny, and still pack the food in. Haha.
@shuttersparks Yup. Said 14yro is built just like I was at his age: nearly 6 feet tall, weighing about 120 when soaking wet, and capable of eating about 10,000 calories a day. Teenage boys are freaks.
