Now it can't even buy supermarket slop
Disingenuous nigger. A century ago, people spent half their income on food
One day of work buys me an imported bishoujo figure (after republicuck tariff tip) so I'm not complaining.
>>543797519Why do these disingeuous niggers always mention minimum wage? Barely anyone makes the actual minimum wage today. Even if comparing minimum wage it hasn't changed much>In 1940: A minimum-wage worker earning 30 cents an hour spent nearly a full hour of labor to buy 1 lb of shoulder steak.>• Today: With the US federal minimum wage at US$7.25 an hour (and many state minimums sitting between US$10.00 and US$16.00+), an average minimum-wage worker needs roughly 40 to 60 minutes of labor to buy that same pound, keeping the real-work cost surprisingly comparable over 85 years.
>>543797519It still does. Go to a Grandys
>three carrots>two taters>a probably 3 ounce hamburger steak>some flour for the batter and gravyThat's probably about a $1-2 meal in bulk today.
>>543797592Everything on social media is a psyop.
I made chicken fried steak, country gravy, peas, and wonderful flaky buttermilk biscuits just the other week and so i know that 1 hour of minimum wage today still buys this meal>>543797595when you buy premade meals you're paying for the time you save too. everything is always cheaper when you spend your own time
>>543797794The zoomgroid mind can't comprehend buying in bulk and cooking at home. They will probably compare the price of this to getting the same meal at a restaurant.
>>543797519Okay? An hour of work buys me 5 dinners.
>>543797794>>543797868a pound of shoulder steak is like $18.
Joey did a whole episode of friends for a hot diner
>>543797519You can make that yourself for less than an hour's wage even on the federal minimum wage. How much do non self cooking retards think food costs?
Let me tell you something about 1940's minimum wages and housing affordability
>>543798116they literally have no idea$15-30 for a basic meal is what they pay

30 minutes of hour of fishing 1/2 kg fillets1/2 lemon, garlic, butter $22 potatoes $1pretty easy
>>543798143Everyone knows we're in an asset bubble propped up by boomers and debt, no one debates that
>>543797964And a house costs a lot more now, things change. Things are supposed to get better after each generation.>>543797600We are not complaining about people from the 1800's but about people born in the 50's who screwed a generation after them.
>>543797707Minimum wage should be enough for a decent dinner
>>543797519Still does. You can get a steak dinner at most restaurants with 2 sides for around $20.
>>543797595Pre-made meals taste like absolute shit
>>543797519Just the ingredients perhaps.The whole recipe take more than one hour of work by itself
>>5437975957.99
>>543800909It is? I routinely make parmy and vegetables from scratch for less than ten bucks
>>5437975191 hour of minimal wage in 2026 buys you one NIGGA JAR and that's better than some peasant meat and potatoes
Made for you by your own stay at home wife, taking care of your multiple children, and doing all the household chores and supporting you so you had almost no cares at home.You came home to homemade dinner, happy children greeting you, as she took your coat and got you a drink. Enjoyed a cooked breakfast.When it was time to leave in the morning you stepped into your starched and ironed clothes and grabbed the lunch she had ready for you.On your way to the factory job you got before quiting high school that requires a 5-10 minute commute across town.
>>543797519What is this zoomer trend of subtitles displaying a single fucking word at a time? Can someone explain this?
>>543797519I wouldn't know I haven't made minimum wage since 2007. >tfw $30/hr
>>543804311>sentence long>no read>sentence one word at a time>me readalso this shit usually has an obnoxious cut after every word so every word sounds like thisdidyou know that in1940 the minumwage was 30centsanhour?
