>>533045202Thats funny because every person here who goes to America is confused why the prices are the same or looking at that picture worse then prices here.The only difference is we get paid 50% more which in reality should living standard 1 to 1
That means the republican policies are working
>1x adult, 1x child, 1x popcorn, 1x nachos, 2x drinksThis used to cost you 30 dollars at the MOST overpriced places in 2000, but le inflation calculators say this would be worth 60 dollars now.

>>533045799You could get 3 almost 4 2.0 liters for that here in even the pricey grocery stores.
I wish people would simply stop participating in this shit and make them all go out of business. Yeah maybe it's boring for a while but they've been squeezing us all because of these low impulse control normies trying to pretend like everything is fine when it's clearly not.
>>533045479>disgustinggrow up
>$25 ticket
>>533045202If you're trying to save money you don't have to see it in imax right? But those food prices are basically robbery, just smuggle in your fucking snacks like everyone else does. The theaters really have to meet people halfway if they don't want that behavior.
>in 2026>people can't even comprehend sneaking in outside drinks or even food
>>5330452021 x torrent shitty movie... $0.001 x home made popcorn... $1.50 2 × glasses of Pepsi... $1.00 There, problem solved.
>>533045479das rite
>>533045767*Barqs
Clearly the price of popcorn and sitting in a seat for 2 hours has gone up by 10000000% pay up piggy!!!!!! we own all the theaters and all the property now, and now you're a slave.

>>533045202Guest they have to pay more to be American.No free rides
>>533045202Tbf since nobody is going to theaters anymore they have to hike up the prices x10 to break even.
>>533045202Who eats nachos at the theater you obnoxious fucksNo seriously one of the only quiet rituals left and you fat fucks must have chips and phones out

>>533045202NOOOO THE ACTORS DESERVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR ACTING NOOOOOO
>>533045202Do americans not bring their own snacks and sodas into the movie theater? You save so much money by doing that
>>533045396In bongland they don't give a shit if you bring your own food and drinks as long as none of it is alcoholic, it's great.
>>533046289>Grow up and drink things that taste like shitGreat argument. The fact that root beer is a child's drink makes it all the more brilliant

>>533046348>FinlandWay to out yourself as a VPN.
>>533046504In america it was generally a social expectation to buy fresh food at the movie theater, in exchange for them not price gorging you. This prevents people from bringing disgusting old food into the theater and smelling it up, or doing shit like bringing mcdonalds in and pigging out and fucking up the seats with stains.Of course, now that we live in a low-trust society, you should just bring your food in.
>>533046386Tariffs + War = InflationEnjoy your poverty. You voted for it.
>>533046460>rich people existNo shit, they own the theator that charges $11 for popcorn.>>533046572>instant homoeroticaDo you think about women sometimes?
>>533046405Right-wing economic policy consists of health and safety deregulation. It means more cancerous chemicals and poisons in your food but this should lower the prices. That's why food prices are higher in Democrat states.
>>533046561Glad I'm not the only one who realizes normies are retards who cannot connect the dots. I checked out of this overpriced bullshit years ago out of spite for it all and now my habits are really paying off meanwhile these dumb fucks are paying out the ass for stuff that used to be a fraction of the cost and can't seem to figure out they're part of the problem for supporting it.

>>533045202She got a $2 discount though so it's all good
>>533046242>I wish people would simply stop participatingthey are, its too expensive, theaters are trying to recoup losses with insane concession/ticket pricing which makes people go there even less lol, who's paying 12 funbux for fucking corn drenched in flavacol
>>533045479A real man drinks Bangs. It even has a badass bulldog logo.
>>533046431Why should you buy a ticket for a mediocre kike movie? You can get everything for free in 2 clicks.
>>533045202Just checked my local imax and its $11 for an adult ticket, what overpriced shithole does she live in?
>>533045799theaters, like stadiums, theme parks, ect, rip you off by not allowing you to take your own food or drink in and then greatly overcharging you.
>>533046740You will never be able to vote your way out of increasing prices. Prices only go down in a depression in which case you're not concerned with the price of a bing bing wahoo movie ticket anyway, you're concerned about your next meal.
>>533046798Every time I hear about a this or a that franchise closing down hundreds of locations I'm glad. Let them burn in their own hubris.
>>533046684>but this should lower the pricesNo because they also ditch banking regulations, anti-monoply laws, consumer protection laws ect.They lower the quality while also increasing the prices becasue that maximizes share holder value.>>533046788>someone disagrees with me on how to return to a man working 40 hours owning a house, stay at home wife and 4 kids>he should dieWe want the same things, I'm just economically literate.
>>533045202Maybe stop wasting money on slop?
>>533045202>Nothing is affordable anymore.another case of the left being right about everything

>>533046460>women>actually dishing out the €1000She got some sucker simp to pay for that so that Chad doesn't need to feed her when she visits him to get her back blown out.
>>533045202I enjoy watching movies more at home on my laptop, with a bag of organic chocolate caramel popcorn, a 6 pack of LaCroix and peeing in the empty cans without pausing.
>>533045396You should be able to afford the goyslop, bringing your own shit was poorfag behavior but it became normalI was a poorfag myself most of my life btw
>>533045202online streaming pirate websites have never been better. i dont even torrent anymore
>>533045674The biggest humiliation has to be the 2 dollar nacho combo discount, lmao.What an embarrassment.
>>533046348Sweet summer child baka
>>533045396>Hiding itThey don't care anymore.I just walk in with whatever and wagies don't even care
>>533045202imax. and food. thats the problemeveryone knows to just go to the dollar store to load up on candy. and sneak it in.also skip imax and just get general.
>>533046740I stopped buying stuff but once in a blue moon I'll buy a reeses or soda or fast food and be shocked at how bad things have gotten. Everything tastes like shit and now my home cooking is not only better, I can get it quicker than "fast food" too>>533046561A great reason why smart people oppose overpopulation (yes, the world is overpopulated. We have 2-3x the population of the "good times" and now everything is substantially worse, because the demand has skyrocketed while the supply hasn't changed much. This doesn't even account for the number of STUPID people who can now get a critical mass and consooom, while silencing any individual smart people who speak up against this stuff. What was 3 normie cattle on 1 smart schizo has now become 10 normies yelling at a schizo.)
>>533046582The movie that the ticket is for 'The sin of Madelon Claudet' is 75 minutes.
Here's an idea, stop buying luxuries if they are too expensive. Save your money and buy things you actually need.
>>533046942how do we fix late stage capitalism. is the only solution to switch to communism? last time the economy was reset was by the world wars
>>533045202Meh, it's not as if they can just itemize it as the 'niggers be-gone'-tax on the receipt.
>>533046822Plus most movies are either some cape slop, or some feminist movie about cutting off a penis. You shouldn't even subscribe to any streaming service as there's nothing there anymore.
>>533045546Imax is a 3d movie theater, they're always more expensive. Still 40$ for 7-11 food is fucking bullshit.
>>533046942how do we fix late stage capitalism. is the only solution to switch to communism? last time the solution was world wars
>>533045202If only you knew how bad things really are.
>>533046942>capitalismIt's the jews
>>533045202Do Americans really starve if they go 2 hours without stuffing their mouths with goyslop?
>>533047199Socialism, why do you retards always ignore the middle position?You are posting from a socialist state with state owned resources.
>>533045202>paying to watch movieslopkek at goyim cattle
>>533047199>how do we fix late stage capitalismexpulsion or eradication of a particular ethnoreligious tumor the one which also champions communism, so that is not a viable alternative
>>533045396too much work, sounds like something a nigger would do. Niggers try to get as much free shit as they can
>>533047208That's horrible.
>>533046849wtf is it with burgers and stuffing their faces full of slop whenever they're seated?Can you seriously not go 2 hours without cramming palm oil-soaked GMO carbs into your bloated face?
>a child for $21.99I don't understand, that's a bargain
>>533046371Theaters make almost no money from movie ticket sales unless the movie is in theaters for more than six weeks. All of that goes to the studios. With them also pushing movies to streaming earlier there are fewer and fewer movies that the theater can make money off of. So they have to upcharge concession to pay the bills.
>>533045202>Nothing is affordable anymore.never vote for republicans, never vote for conservative democrats, problem solved.
>>533047199Expel the jews
>>533046111>still not as gay as living in America
Based. I only buy essentials at Costco. I want every business in America to fail so that the parasites can move to India
>>533045479Virgil’s Chad checking in
>>533045202All I can say is, she is not wrong, and in a high trust society we don't have to play semantics. That means she's right
>>533045396the food in the grocery story is maybe a dollar cheaper. the drink is a huge rip though
>>533045202free for me
>>533045202>2% TAXWhat the fuck, in this country that would be like 24%.That being said a single adult ticket to a movie is like 12-14€.
movie tickets near me are $8 and I sneak food in. theaters always empty. pretty comfy if you ask me
>>533045202>"NoThInG iS aFfoRdAbLe">Posts proof that someone afforded itWhy are goyim like this? I agree prices has gotten out of control, and the culprit are retards who pay for it regardless. For example, it seems like every childless millennial chucklefuck complains to me that UberEats or similar delivery services have gotten too expensive, and I'm sitting there half confused cause I've never used that shit once.
>Go spend a night out with a coworker>Spend $235.44 in drinks, entry fees etc>hang out with two chicks>just be a wingman because they really dont appeal to me at all (I have a preference for a certain kind of woman)I mean it was a fun night but I should not be paying that much to have a night out, and then they wonder why bars and clubs are losing money
>>533047710How much does you health insurance cost?
>>533046242>bitching about paying prices that they're willing to payOr they can keep going every weekend and just shut the fuck up about it.
.
>>533046333>>533046965
>>533048001What's health insurance?
>>533047935While I agree that delivery services are gay, it should not cost so much money to go outside and go to 3rd places.People need places to hang out and socialize but you're making it so damn expensive and then they bitch and moan that they're going out of business
>>533045202It's almost as they want the last cinema to die and sell endless micro abos to watch online
>>533045202>go to a movie>order an entire meal with your movieWho does that?
>>533048085Exactly, I get sick of seeeing Nords cry about taxes while ignoring what it pays for.
>>533045202Haha. Paid 12 for 2 Tickets and Free Popcorn and drink.poormarican.
>>533045202leave america
>>533046942>>533047199the solution is infinity indians and tearing down statues and making children transgender
>>533047710I'm guessing the tax is only on the soda. The tickets probably include tax and substances classified as "food" are often not taxable
>>533048001Like 25€ per month for private health insurance. But that's just back up, my job provides me it. And if it does not, the public health insurance provides it. Only time i ever use that 25€ per month shit is when i broke my leg and i could send the taxi bills, the medical bills and the prescription bills to them. I am too injured now to get such a good deal again, so i keep paying it, lest i have to go without.
>>533046965based. Im not a pauser either, and people get mad at me when I start peeing in a jar. They can deal, my house
>>533045479Oliet Bangs is my go to fuck mug desu
>>533048350And go where?To Europe that's becoming a totalitarian muslim shithole?To Australia who is China-Lite?To South America where I will be robbed and killed?To Africa?There's nowhere to go as a white american, best bet is to go to a red state, buy land and build a decent compound
>>533045202I haven't paid for a movie in 20+ years.
>>533045202In 1970, minimum wage $1.60 while gold was $35 an ounce. So, in 1970 a 40 hour work week at minimum wage could buy 1.8 ounces of gold. 1.8 x $4,764.80 = $8,576.64 / 40 = $214.41To keep pace with the purchasing power of minimum wage in 1970 the minimum wage today would have to be $215 an hour.Cheers!
>>533048569Actually you're right stay there
>>533045202>not having Unlimited>not having Snack SaverI go all day watch 4-5 movies and popcorn and drink is like $11
>>533048482Now ask the claps what they are paying.Do the same for power, water, gas, internet ect. and you might find paying higher taxes and having state ownership that isn't trying to maximize profit is better than low taxes are the free market fucking everyone.
>>533046942>leftists seize every major institution>everything goes to shit>”Looks like we were right again!”They act as though they have no effect on the things they observe. Also the usual assertion of>multi-trillion dollar welfare state>capitalism
>>533045767>>533046348Heh it's Bangs my good friends by the way what do you think about this man?
>>533046460thats avg monthly salary in Latvia though.
>>533046460i bet that single green pepper smidge was delicious though,,
>>533048416Nah cunt we got a 24% service tax VAT (value added tax) on shit like barbers and movies and all services and luxury items like booze and tobacco and we got a 14% VAT on all food like rice and potatoes and water and milk. I think soft drinks (pop to you yanks) have a separate VAT tax level because of the sugar tax, so maybe that's 18% or 20%.
>>533045202You think luxuries are unaffordable? You better learn some diy because if you hire a contractor for anything now you're going bankrupt.
>>533048747>leftists seize every major institutionWhen did they kill the central bank? No leftist would allow the centeral bank to exist as a private entity.Let me guess, by leftist I mean IDpol not economics?Both parties in the US are right economically, the last time the dems were left was the 70s, such a tough time to buy a house.
>>533048606Titanic was the last one any gf dragged me to. I trusted her because she had a good track record in picking them.Three hours of dour, humorless, boring, one-dimensional characters with no meaningful historical insight in the story line. I've sat through weddings that didn't seem that torturous.
>>533047199>stronger consumer rights and business standards watchdogs that have the teeth to enforce their rules (and actually use those teeth against offenders)>crack down hard on corruption AKA "lobbying">break the government-to-corporate-advisor pipeline>implement a progressive tax structure what incentivises - or outright forces - big businesses to pay their workers more and disincentivises hoarding wealth like some sort of dragon (ironically this is how the US tax system worked during the Red Scare, the people who were almost literally checking under their beds for communist agents considered this sensible economic policy and it was this system that created the huge and very wealthy American middle class)>put the financial sector on a leash againYou don't need some incredibly dramatic total societal overhauls, 'late stage capitalism' is almost entirely the result of guardrails that used to exist being removed because the ultra-wealthy essentially bribed politicians to change the rules in their favour incrementally over time until we ended up with the current shitshow. Put the guardrails back and tinker with some other stuff around the edges and just watch things magically improve.
>>533048720I don't dispute that but every month when 33% of my earnings get poofed in the air i seethe.

Can't people watch a movie without hogging down food?
>>533049075Like FDR did?Your understanding of socialism was feed to you by billionaires that fuck children.

>>533045202No tip? Is she some sort of communist?
>>533045202i haven't been to a movie theater in over a decade. why would anyone want to do this?
>>533045202This is a response to those dipshit zoomers who were literally rioting in theaters over the CHICKEN JOCKEY meme. Throwing food and drink all over the place, this is the result.
>>533048754i feel as young as he looks every time i sip a refreshing Bang's root beer.
>>533049067I just see you with Solidium Oy and remember when Australia had something similar 30 years ago.Keep it anon, don't be fooled into ditching socialism and state ownership.
>>533049054>muh hoarding wealthRetarded fantasy. Companies don’t survive if they don’t reinvest profits.
>>533045202We need more migrants to fix this.
>>533049247It's one of those things the penny public live for that makes no sense to me to the point of outrage. Same as eating at the gate at airports. It's hard to think of any place to consume food any more disgusting than theaters and airports.
>>533045202>imaxthere's your reason. it's always been expensive
>>533049400
>>533049425>Companies don’t survive if they don’t reinvest profitsHahahahaha, haven't you heard of stock buybacks or are you are corpo shill that knows you're lying?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WATCH A MOVIE SOBER. ARE YOU INSANE ID RATHER DIE
>>533049250>prolonged a simple market downturn into an 11-year depressionGreat example. You’re not entitled to other people’s money, faggot.
>>533049589a bit early
>>533045396What’s with people and eating during movies? As if it’s some unwritten rule that you need to stuff your face with food because you cannot go without it for 2 hours. Is this some American thing?
>>533045799its america, a small soda is 6 liters
>>533049529>not eating in the lounge or a fancy-ish restaurant at the airport
>>533049209In the mid 90s I worked a minimum wage job (Arby's) for $4.50 an hour. At the time an ounce of silver was about $4.50. I used to see discount movies at the AppleTree Mall for $1.50 per movie. (A ticket to see a new movie at the big fancy movie theater was $10 and a little cheaper for a matinee.) Adjusted for inflation that same discount movie ticket would be $25 today.

>>533045202I only see movies on half price Tuesday and smuggle in my food and beverages.Been that way for 15 years, never paying full price or supporting Jew theaters with concession purchases again.
>>533047103I've been to three iMax movies in my life, two were documentaries when the technology was new, and one was a hollywood film. I don't get the appeal.>The screen is larger than you can see just by looking at it, you have to move your head and eyes around to see the whole thing!WHY?
>>533049425Big corporations primarily "invest" in stock buybacks, and I don't know if you've noticed but individuals are also subject to tax policy and the wealthiest individuals are hoarding so much money that it's genuinely hurting the global economy, money is designed to circulate between productive people or businesses, not sit in some ultra-billionaire's secret offshore portfolio contributing literally nothing to nobody.
>>533049629Neat red herring. It’s funny how leftists always accept whatever framing they’re given at first and never deviate. At some point it was explained to you that stock buybacks are the reason you’re poor and that’s become a core part of your personality. If you want to punish corporations and billionaires, try closing the borders.
>>533045202People still go to the movies in 2026? What fucking idiots lol
>>533050225>leftists always accept whatever framing they’re given at first and never deviateYou think I grew up during Australias neoliberal shift and was taught socialism was good?My upbringing would be much like yours, the billionaires that owned all the media and politicians used both to tell everyone how great free markets are. At some point I questioned that, you never did.
>>533045396You say that but when i brought beans all you people laughed at me
>>533050073tbf the imax screen is huge and the cliff hanging documentary I saw was joggling.. If I were to splurge on a theater-go it'd be imax or nothing
>>533045202No wonder movies theaters are dying.

>>533045202Yes, you have. You're complaining on Twitter about not being able to afford a ticket to the circus anymore while children are sold and raped and butchered by those in power as they point fingers at everyone else
>>533047516Based Chad. Stay classy king
>>533050635Like everything else they will shift their target market to the rich that can afford to go. Every theater will have italian leather seats, serve champaign and charge $500 for a ticket.
Clown world makes me wish for the coming of Ragnarok
>>533050676Only cost $20 to bum ye mum.
>>533045202TAX is only $2. Holy shit, must be nice...
>>533045202>small pepsi 8.99 lol, I should open a theater
>>53305088120 quid
>>533046582Before the 1960s, you paid for one ticket into the theater, there was only one screen, and you watched whatever films and filler cartoons and news reels they had on hand and played on repeat all day if you wanted. You could see multiple movies for the price of one ticket.If you've ever seen a Bugs Bunny cartoon where the little silhouette stands up and says "This is where I came in", that's what it's referring to.
>>533045202yeah no shit. I was recently dating a girl and we went to an escape room. $100 for a 1hour escape fucking room for two people. You go to the restaurant, $100 for two easily (IF you are reasonable with what you get, otherwise add $50 more easily). Glad I dumped that bitch, she refused to pay for anything.
>>533047516they have a chocolate stout thats fantastic
>>533050590>If I were to splurge on a theater-go it'd be imax or nothingHow common are non-IMAX cinemas in the US? I honestly can't remember the last time I've seen one over here, it feels like it's the baseline for every single chain cinema.

>>533045396Here in spain is illegal for a movie theater to deny entry someone for bringing food and/or drinks from outside
>>533049715It’s about pleasure maxing also who sees a movie without being high af?
>>533045202Over here they give free entry to boomer over 65s to combat the "elderly loneliness epidemic". If you're a young guy or struggling family though got to pay full price. But no one ever goes anyway because it's too expensive and movies are shit now. I have no idea how these places even stay in business.
>>533045202Orrrrr pirate it for free.
>>533045202If she would have waited to see a matinee, on a regular screen, and with no snacks she would have paid not more than $20 total. But she is choosing all sorts of extras such as IMAX and food. Typical woman, being dumb with money.

>>533046242there are too many well off jews and good goys for that to be possible.
>>533050460So naturally you came to conclude that the complete opposite was true.
>>533051268>to business people who create more productsYeah, Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan Chase & Blackrock make so many products.
>>533051243* also i've noticed that we are good at rehabilitating old theaters and rarely let them go to waste.. Most theaters in this area are very old but still functional and tended
>>533045396Still would've been 50 bucks to see the movie. Tickets in my area were 10 dollars when I went with my dad
>>533051128But be honest, you think it's racist to voice displeasure towards bringing in a million pajeets per year.
>>533051619All three of those Jewish enterprises push for leftist policies.
>>533045202>Didn't bring in her own snacks and drinksI guess it would have been rough without the kid ratting you out. But you're already at $45 just for the tickets.

>>533051391>oy vey just spend less goy>just lower your standard of living>no need to be upset that you cant afford things anymoreShalom
>>533045202>>533045396Movie theater snacks have always been ridiculously expensive even back in the 2000s.Why?
>>533046242This. As long as the public continues to bitch but grudgingly pay, IMAX should double their prices.
>>533045202Just stay home and watch free movies on Tubi. You can make some ramen and drink a 2 litre of Shasta from the dollar store.
>>533051453it's only a 900% mark-up of the usual retail cost, definitely not price gouging, or as my dad would say "highway robbery"
>>533051893Movie theaters make basically no money projecting movies. The royalties they pay are enormous. Concessions are 100% profit to them, they're the "main attraction" when it comes to the bottom line, movies are an afterthought.
>>533045202Everything is an absolute rip off. Its important to sign up for rewards that build up when you use the gas station, groceries and your credit card. Every now and then you get enough for free shit for nothing. I have one called "Scene". Its through a bank. Whenever I use my debit card I get "scene points" and they are applicable at the movie theater and certain grocery store chains. Ill have over 250$ in points occasionally.
>>533045202Humble brag. >Look, look, I spent $90 on a movie and I'm just a little miffed! It's crazy, but of course, I can afford it!
>>533051613I believed capitalism was the best system for a couple of decades then started to see it's failings.As a 20 something I went full contrarian communist and started reading economic theory and looking at the history of markets from Feudalism, though mercantilism to classical liberalism capitalism and neoliberal capitalism.Though this I learnt a lot about things like progressive vs regressive taxation, nationalization ect.I came to the conclusion that the 1950s were the absolute peak for the workign class because the 90% top tax rate stopped the rich from pricing everyone out of asset markets.When did you notice the failings of capitalism, learn about other systems and the history of economics only to decide capitalism is the best?
>>533051893because people will pay it>>533052111also this
>>533050721
>>533051726No, I'm economically left and think IDpol is a tool used by the ruling class to destract idiots from economic policy.You can be racist or woke I couldn't care less.
>>533045202Seems reasonable.
>>533045707And it's probably 3x as much soda. Women love ordering small as if it makes their fat ass any smaller.
>>533045202Concessions were that price 15 years ago. It’s always been an insane rip off which is why you sneak your own snacks in.
>>533045202You don't have to buy concessions you know. You can just not eat for 2 consecutive hours.
>>533051334Someone can technically bring the stinkiest turd to the cinema and no one can stop them.
>>533052281>the ruling classYou are a kike or a shabbos goy.
>>533045202>24.49 for one adultI remember when it was no more than $5
>>533049589Too soon
>>533051391This. She's specifically going to the movies in the most expensive way possible. I can easily go see a movie, get a popcorn and soda (the true reason for going to the theater), and spend less than $30. That's still a lot, but that all cost me probably $20 back in the 2000s so it's at least reasonable given general inflation. If you get a bunch of all the expensive options then yeah your bill is going to be expensive lol.
>>533046386Look at the gas prices, retard.

And people get criticised for downloading warez.Fuck those pricks! Dont let the movie theatre owner buy a new porsche for his little shit until he gets reasonable with his customers.
>>533052934Kikes love the ruling class, they have become it through AIPAC.I hate kikes and they power they exert though the legal corruption of political donations.You seem to think politicians being for sale is great.
>>533051700I was gonna talk about half-off Tuesdays and loyalty programs and how data sales offset the cost of movies, but it ultimately all comes down to Hollywood being a massive money-laundering operation so there's not really any logic to it in the end.
>>533047003>2 dollar nacho combo discount, lmao.Unless I'm doing my math wrong, they didn't even get that discount. Unless the small Pepsi's original price was 9.99.
>>533051334Seems like common sense. 20 years ago when I learnt that it was standard policy to stop entry for people carrying their own food, it blew my mind. My friends were all acting like this was common knowledge and I was an amusing eccentric for finding it outrageous. That might have been my first introduction to the concept of NPCs.
The size of the large is ridiculous. And so is the small. Just get 2 straws and split it. Why the fuck are they also eating nachos? That makes a mess in the dark. $20 saved right there. Don't eat and drink like fatties.
>>533053117No, I'm saying it's all just kikes at this point. Trump's entire family is jewish.
>>533053086For me, it's Bang's.
>>533053258You keep saying I'm a kike for wanting to take power away from the kikes.
>Not drinking oliet Bang'sI hope all you poorfags starve to death in a ditch.
>>533045767love me an Oliet Bangs. Nothing comes close!
>>533053179I have found they let you bring in an empty water bottle. Go fill it up at the drinking fountain or the bathroom sink. That is a cheat code right there.
>>533051813IMAX has always been a premium experience. Cinema food has always been overpriced garbage. Going to a regular screening isn’t “lowering standards”. You’re just a consoomer and a portage at that.
>>533053456>or the bathroom sinkHell yeah!
>>533052166>Australian >talking about 90% income tax rate in the 1950s like an American RetardThe rich paid Long Term Capital Gains taxes in the 1950s, with top rates in the 30s% range, and the income tax bracket was for people making a salary of $400,000 for their labor, same as it is today. Not $400,000 adjusted for inflation, $400,000 in 1950s money.The difference between then and now is restrictions on monopoly and the ability for Wall Street investment firms to borrow insane amounts of money to do forced leveraged buy-outs to consolidate more companies under one umbrella, policies enacted by the Neocon Libertarian (i.e. Trotskyite Jew) adminsistration of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s and completely unrelated to the Income Taxes on LABOR, which were enacted to harm the rich but never actually did.Communist and Leftist policies never hurt the rich, they only hurt the middle class who have found a way to work for themselves and not have to rely on the rich to provide everything for them (which is why you see Bill Gates and Warren Buffet advocating for higher taxes, and Larry Fink pushing ESG.) The Robber Barons were all about income taxes in the early 1900s. Rockefeller said "Nobody should have this much money! Tax the rich, I'm giving my money to charity and not to my kids" and then put all his money into a charitable foundation that he created. Then he hired his kids to work for the charitable foundation directing how the money gets spent and using charitable foundation property to decorate their house 9 months a year when it wasn't on display at their charity-funded national museums.
>>533045202I just checked the IMAX by me and its 13.75 for luxury recliner ticket and $11 matinee.

>>533046333>1 x home made popcorn... $1.50It's more like 4 cents. A two lb bag of popcorn at the grocery store costs about $1 and has 27 adult size servings in it.
>>533045202If you don’t like the prices then make your own movie theater. The invisible hand is always right.
>>533053456I think we're starting from different standards, burgerfren. I was insulted that they wouldn't let me carry in a can of Pringles openly, but I could have got away with the barest minimum of concealment I suppose. Bringing in empty water containers is on another level.Having said that I have literally never been back to the cinema in 20+ years so maybe it's just as bad here now. I will simply pirate movies forever.
>>533052166So you studied it for what, 6 months? The 90% top tax rate is a meme. Nobody actually paid that because the system was set up differently. The actual effective tax rate for the top 1% in the 40s and 50s was between 30 and 40%. Today it's between 20 and 30%. Besides that, individual income tax rates have nothing to do with our economic problems today. There are too many reasons to list in this post, but it really boils down to a few things: inflation, specifically the 2% yearly goal by the federal reserve; the increasing size of the regulatory state, which advantages large, established firms over smaller firms; high corporate tax rates, which also advantage large firms over small firms (large companies can afford the accounting tricks that get their effective tax rates down to zero, while small companies can't do that and usually end up paying the full tax rate). All of these things advantage large established companies to the detriment of small companies and consumers, and it gets compounded each year. The inflation bit is the worst part, because it has so many wide-reaching negative effects that most people wouldn't even think to associate with inflation.

Movie theater food has always been expensive. This has been the case for at least 3 decades.The reason these people are poor is because they’re stupid.
>>533045799You can literally buy 9 1.25L bottles for $9 at Walmart
>>533052166ESG, Environmental and other leftist policies are enacted explicitly to prevent competition with the major corporations because they can afford to pay the taxes or the offsets, and small businesses who might otherwise disrupt their monopolies can't.Communists and the Rich believe in two classes of Society: The Boss and Labor. Communists want the Boss to provide everything for them, and consider the Middle Class who decide to work for themselves to be scabs undercutting their ability to blackmail the boss. Bosses think they know best how to organize society (even though the richest assholes are all shiesty salesmen and not actual creators), and so even if they don't get to keep their name on the ownership of the company, they still get to organize everything and eat all the apples and cream because they need it for their intellectual work of organizing. The one thing they cannot stand is some upstart competitor who can think and work for themselves and doesn't have to rely on the Bosses.

It never ends.As for inflation I would love to see a goal of 0%>but people won't investYou think people will turn down 5% and take 0% instead?Also having a single borrowing rate causes a lot of issues, if you are going to let house prices reach the point people need loans then you need to have 2 seperate rates for a first house and investments.>>533054420I don't want the boss to fo shit for me, I just don't want the cunt buying 50 houses and pricing everyone else out.>>533054998Based source poster.

>>533055198I don't want to punish people for being successful, but by the same token, I don't want Paul Singer to be able to force Cabellas to sell because they'd be violating some 1980s law about "Best for the stock holder" if they refuse to sell stock to Singer at a price that would absolutely benefit the stock holders if they wanted to sell. The answer to this is laws against monopoly, which were undone by Reagan and have been unravelling since.There has to be some level of inflation because the population is always growing and the number of dollars in circulation needs to be tied to the number of hours the population is working. It needs to be tied to hours worked though and can't be created by government caveat giving free money to somali niggers.
