This was 30 years ago. Why are Republicans pretending that affordability isn't an issue? They're going to lose Congress if they don't do something
>>540848438The median wage in 1990 was ~$30k. Today it's ~$65k. That's roughly double. If prices kept up with inflation this wouldn't be an issue
A 12 inch tv was worth hundreds of dollars. You can now buy a 50 inch 4k tv for $300. Computers cost $10k. You can get a decent laptop for under $500. Do I really need to keep going on?
>>540848438>Why are Republicans pretending that affordability isn't an issue?For the same reason that Democrats pretended that affordability wasn't an issue when they were in power.
>>540848521damn its like niggers on the left didnt fix shit in 4 years and suddenly you want Republicans to clean up your mess
>>540848438baja blast wasn't invented 30 years ago this is probably from 2010
>>540848665Really, if everyone just settled down and accepted the next few years are going to be rough, we could sail through this. But muh avocado toast is t free so leftoids gonna left.
>>540848438You know why
>>540848665Hard to do anything when Republicans constantly run defense for large corporate interests. Blocking any bill that would 'hurt the economy'.
>>540848752 Earlier than that. They phased out the gordita by 2010
>>540848894>>540848817crazy how the left imports the 3rd world for jews and you deflect. MUH DIEVERISITY!
>>540848817>But muh avocado toast isnt freeYET*****
>>540848895This should be from roughly 2006 to 2007. I would regularly pick up one of those meal deals + an extra $0.99 burritos on my way to the public library where my friends and I would gather to play Runescape.
>>540848438Its called inflation and is a feature not a bug
Things were so different back then. Even everything looked different? Different aesthetics everywhere
>>540848895This is the worst mistake they made, the Gordita was based. That was the fist step of enshittification.
>>540848438This was over 50 years ago picrel
>>540850039Would you go by car?
>>540848752Baja blast was invented in 2004. That is 32 years ago
>>540848636Yes we get more trinkets but the big expenses: >Food>Shelter>Medical expenses Have skyrocketed
>>540848438#4 was my favorite lunch for years.
>>540850419>medical expensesthe only ones who are bitching about this are hypochondriacs that are on a daily cocktail of pills. Imagine such an insufferable existence you need daily meds to survive. You faggots weren't meant to live and that is how it should be. Fewer mouths to feed would also reduce food costs and housing costs.
>>540850281>milk n fish filet dedwelcome to McTurdWorld
>>540848895No they didn't
>>540848636Food is a bigger priority than goy-vision, wouldn't you say? Can't eat semiconductors. The prices in OP weren't just 30 years ago. More like 7-8 years
God I hate brown people
>>540848438You will never be a woman
>>540851126>>540850419the only reason medicine is more expensive is because government and insurance regulation has made hospital administrations explode. for every doctor you see there are 100 or 200 fat lesbians pushing paper.
>>54085035522
>>540848438Those are barely lower than what it costs now here in northeast Wisconsin.
>>540852014the population of northeast wisconsin consists of three holsteins, one fat norwegian, and a lost canadian.
/pol/tards supported Zognald all the way up until his gay ass war for Israel started affecting the price of bottom-tier goyslop LMAOOOO
>>540848521Are you retarded or just pretending to be?
>>540848438Because this is literallly all Clinton's, Obama's, and Biden's fault. Therefore Republicans have zero responsibility to fix any of this. You lost tranny.
>>540848438because its always their wars for israel that makes everything unaffordable
>>540848438That's nothing I remember when they used to have a kids menu, even had their own cartoon mascots, a blue dog and a orange cat.
>>540848521K but if you double your unemployment rate and import illegals who work under the counter anyways: thats just the same 30k in modern inflationary dollarsIt's literally the same, you just have less purchasing power by a factor of -3.25% yoy on average
>>540848438For me, it’s the Beefy 5-Layer Burrito with extra lava sauce. Every time. Sometimes two if it’s been a rough day.I always ask for extra fire packets—minimum of six. One time I asked if they had any Volcano Sauce left over (I know it’s discontinued), and this guy behind the counter looked at me, smiled, and said: “You’re that guy who always asks for the pain, huh?”I laughed and said, “I like to feel something.” He goes, “We’re calling you Volcano Guy now.”Now it’s a thing. I walk in, someone shouts, “Yo! Volcano Guy’s here!” They start piling up the fire packets without me asking.I go at least 4 times a week. Sometimes more if the craving hits.Last Tuesday I ate three burritos and woke up at 3AM with what I can only describe as rectal glass. I had to crouch in the shower with the water on cold and grip the towel bar like a deathbed confessional.But the next day I went back.Why? Because they remembered me. Because they called me Volcano Guy.That kind of respect… that kind of identity… you don’t get that everywhere.Pain is temporary. Recognition is forever.I don’t eat Taco Bell for the food. I eat it to feel seen.
>>540853887>had their own cartoon mascots, a blue dog and a orange cat.Damn, I had forgotten all about them. I think they were phased out by like 99-00. The biggest change is probably KFC, idk if they used tallow back in the 90's but it tasted significantly better and the prices were a lot lower relative to other fastfood. Then it got significantly worse in like 2003ish and the prices also started really outpacing other fast food but by that time I just stopped ever getting it.
>>540848636
>>540854351> KFCI remember as a kid back in the 80's they had bbq chicken. It wasn't honey bbq like they've had for the last 25 or so; it was just bbq. They would take the original chicken and soak it in this deep red bbq sauce. It was so good. Even cold the next day it was good. I have not been able to find any proof that it ever existed.
>>540848438Sign takes me back to my early childhood Ffs...what the FUCK happened?
>>540848438That isn't 30 years ago. That's like 15 years ago maybe.
>>540848438>Why are Republicans pretending that affordability isn't an issue?because they are fucking faggots who only care about the rich and they will never care about you
>>540854852I just ate some fried chicken. The breasts were juicy, and the buns were soft and warm. Afterwards, the division manager of Popeyes came up to my table and asked me how the meal was.I said I was satisfied, but the meal lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. He apologized profusely, and said he had something to show me that would make up for it.He lead me to the back of the popeyes, to a room soaked from floor to ceiling in blood. In the center of it was a live horse, chained by all four legs to the structural supports of the warehouse like room. As I watched, employees of the popeyes cut large sections from the horse, which was whinneying and screaming in horror, the remaining sections of its body covered with festering sores and a froth of sweat.The popeyes employees took the chunks of horseflesh and sliced them into pieces, then they rooted around through the bags of trash strewn around the room to find discarded chicken bones.They quickly tenderized the meat with sledgehammers and fed it into a machine which formed the horsemeat around the bones, then they breaded and deepfried it.I asked the division manager why he had led me back to this place, and he pointed at the steed's rump, the diseased asshole puckering rythmically with terror, squirting pus with each convulsion. "We're just about to use that section, would you like a crack at it first?"I quickly unzipped my pants and wasted no time jamming my erect penis into the stallion's defenseless asshole. With each thrust, I donkey punched the horse in the back of the head, making it clench its ass even tighter. I came just as the horse died. I was delighted. Popeyes definitely went the extra mile to make me a satisfied customer.
>>540848665trump more than doubled the amount of printed fiat dollars in circulation in 2020 when he kept fauci in power and let him do lockdowns while they did operation warpspeed.
>>540848438the Meximelt was the best. I used to get 4 of them.
>>540848438because they are all rich and out of touch
>>540848752Slightly earlier. The Grande Meal was 9.99 around 2010. I know because I'm an autistic slob who ate taco bell almost every day from age 16 to about 25.
It was 99 cent for a chalupa in 2001, 1.99 for a chalupa in 2015, 4.29 for a chalupa in 2020, and it's like 6.00 now.
>>540855703This guy's like a fast food scribe. Thank you for your service
>>540851126or people who want to have childrenfor all the complaining about the white birth rate being low, you people sure are so utterly deaf to the fact that giving birth is prohibitively expensive
4.25 to 5.15 an hour. Now, 18 to 20. Thank you Republicans that someone can work fast food for a very good wage.
>>540848438Keep an eye on a nutrition famine, even if food is available, track the availability of high quality nutrient dense fresh food. Seed and fertilizer, where water is redistributed, and what pretexts are constantly given for eroding at them. There is a coordinated attack on self reliance as a people, they want to funnel everything through themselves too aggressively and they need to make everything fake and shelf stable in order to do that, I also do not put intentional poisoning of people past them. Evil is real, but I guess the really hard working and independent people out there are still thriving.
>>540854852Before my time but I have heard of those a couple of times from others. iirc there was some thread where some posters were waxing nostalgic about those like 12 years ago in some /fit/ thread lolI think that was the first time I'd ever heard of them.
>>540851998Get a load of this retard.
>>540848438>Volcano NachosSomeone explain this item to me in great detail. Someone who ate it. I want to live vicariously through your memories.
>>540848438>he thinks republicans and democrats don't work together to serve exclusively israel and drive whites till ethnocidelol, what a retard
>>540851902
>>540848438Hhmmmm,...Chicken Gordita w/ Baja sauce.....Arrghh...
>>540848636The TV is watching you and the laptop is watching you. “Dumb” TVs are more expensive.
>>540848438>Why are Republicans pretending that affordability isn't an issue?Because le dow is over 50.000!
>>540848438also I quite frankly - without any further investigation - would tend to believe that this picture was shot during the digital camera age which was only starting to gain mainstream traction post the millennium;so these prices are closer to being 18 to 23 years old than being from 30 years ago (1996, for the uninitiated)
>>540848636>let them eat circuitry
>>540854094For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.
>>540848438>>540857710
>>540848636Cool, for that you now:>Priced out of groceries>Still unable to own real estate(you didn't need inflation for that because boomers)
>>540854094Better this than mcChicken I suppose
Why are libtoids pretending like everything is riddled with THEIR fraud?Two sides of the same coin denying our issues and the causes of them.
>>540857980Who's your favorite to put the blame on, anon?
>>540848636Computers weren't that expensive and you could buy second hand.
>>540858024Every single dipshit lefist and lugenpresse mouthpiece that framed Nick Shirley's discoveries as anything other than the absolute truth about a fraud industry perpetuated by democrats looking the other way while foreign shitskins rob the taxpayer blind.
>>540848636Lol except with AI your now wrong. TV prices have been climbing as they are directly tied to processing power. And computers for consumers never costed 10k$ your being facetious. But just for reference 4 years ago a top of the line gaming computer cost $1k-$2.5 now that same computer is about $4k-$6k.I bought my 3080 for $699.99. The 5080 today is $1599.99
>>540857980Every single libtard rioter who interfered in the apprehension and deportation of criminal aliens.
>>540848438Oldest this can be is 22 years. Baja Blast was not available until 2004. I graduated high-school in 2011 and I remember the McChicken and McDouble were only 1 dollar at the time. 5 dollar foot long was still in effect as well.
>>540848438I used to get two mexi melts and a Mexican pizza. Shit was so cash.
>>540848636Computers did not cost 10K you absolute retard. Moreover, you consume food 3 times a day and maybe make one electronics purchase a year. Shits gotta change. This is getting ridiculous. Prices are going insane.
Five burrito supremes please and load up the sauce i know you get those for pennies hand em over
>>540848438People make 2.5x as much today as they did 30 years ago and those items cost 2.5x as much today.
>>540858539I dont remember everyone making 20,000 per year in 2000
