>>544763594Why fake this shit? Old catalogs are on the internet.
>>544768213No, inflation stats are just artificially lowered by people accepting a lower quality of life and buying cheaper goods, altering the basket of goods used to calculate inflation.For an accurate metric of inflation just measure changes in the money supply, which is the underlying mechanic behind inflation (currency debasement).

>>544763594Couldn't even get the same OP
>>544763594>Some aspects of the receipt seem authentic. Yes, in 2009 Walmart changed the slogan from "Always low prices. Always." to "Save money. Live Better." and dropped the hyphen (archived here) in their name. But there is no Walmart store (archived here) at 2847 Palm Grove Rd. in Sunset Bay, FL. There is no town in Florida named Sunset Bay (archived here), and there is no town with the postal code 32987 (archived here).

>>544763594For most of my life gas was under $1/gal... in California. When it would raise above around 90 cents people would get pissed and say "look how expensive everything is getting!" That started happening around the Bush presidency and it's just snowballed exponentially from there. Now we're in a straight up economic crisis and nobody realizes it because it happened so gradually.
>>544763594>no chicken breast weightI get bananas for $3 from costco and 2 dozen eggs for $4
>>544768497It is, but based on reality. What are the odds of someone keeping that receipt preserved in a bag, buying the exact same things, and them being labeled the same with the exact same product codes 20+ years apart? No odds, AI is dumb and only the dumb don't detect it. You have to realize the initial premise is off, then dig a bit deeper. Like these fucking flying car videos or robot boxing videos. People below boomer age actually believe that shit.
>>544763594Fake and gay. Those 2026 prices are bullshit.
>>544763877The numbers arnt exactly the same though. Wal-Mart is famous for not changing their item numbers. If you look its just the store numbers and item numbers are the same.

Eggs are not 9.48...fake/gay.Did op buy super expensive items that are just called "eggs" in the Walmart system? Fuck milk isn't that expensive you liar.

>>544770380sarcasm understood and accepted, but the federal minimum wage remained exactly the same, I'm fully recognizing and admitting the complex factors, like obviously state minimum wages are different and higher, bladi bladi blah, but the core point stands, income has not increased to match costs, even if you technically do make a little more now than you did.
>>544770413Jokes on you, OP is telling us he finally stopped buying shit eggs from chicken torture chambers, great work, OP. May his occasional omelette be ever more meaningful.
>>544763901it says 9.48 you illiterate coon
>>544763594Depends on what brand you buy.At Walmart Arizona the cheap generic house brands or small manufacturer local brands are missing over last 4 years.Nothing but overpriced jewslop.
>>544763594
>>544763594Now do 1978 vs 2002.
>>544765061Uh oh, someone is going to bust out the dirt rockets.
>>544763792ThisIts boomer b8Inflation does not go backwards, it only progresses
>>544763792It absolutely is. Look at the kerning on those UPC numbers.
>>544763594>$9 for a dozen eggsWhat sort of eggs? Cause normal eggs coat about $2>$19.99 for chicken breastLike a bag with 12 of them?>Bread $4.99Again...context? I've never seen bread cost $5 unless fancy French crap.I could of got all 3 of those items at Walmart right now for $13This is so obviously fake and gay
>>544763594thats like weimar on sedatives but global
>>544763594Now do Walmart in 1979.
>>544770867And don’t forget, they had a Black woman who would give you a handjob for a crack rock, just about every parking lot.Today’s prices suck ass.
>>544771197
Thanks, Obama.
>>544768213Lower than that, I'm getting $28.92 from my inflation calculator. The government is covering up just how bad inflation actually is, although they've been doing this since the 70s so it's nothing new.
>>544763594Eggs can't be much cheaper, but everything else got 50% worse in quality.

>>544763935That's why they killed the penny.
>>544763594Milk is 2.19 by me and was 79 cents or less until 2021.Eggs were 48 cents in that time period and 2 dollars per dozen now. Do you live in fucking alaska or some shit?
>>544765118Wait what the heck the price for those ribs and tenderloin is actually higher than what I can find them for today.
>>544763594>Why the fuck is shit so->Oh it's FloridaKek my Krogers is about 30% above the left prices except coffee
>>544763935they're also a sign of the root cause, no silver, just worthless zinc and little copper, a fake coin that would have gotten you hanged back in the day if you tried to pass off as real. kikes made counterfeit money 'legit'.
>>544773930It's not a real photograph and even if it were that doesn't mean OP is the one who took it. But if you actually use your eyes you'd see the receipts say they're from Florida.I haven't left my house in a while; today I bought a gallon of milk and it was like $4.29 which shocked me; I'm used to it being more like $3.50. The niggers at the store also had fliers out saying chimkin breast was $2/lb but it rang up as fucking $4.40/lb and their excuse was>"Oh, the chicken on sale isn't THIS brand, but some other brand entirely... No we don't have any of that other brand in stock, at all, and the sales flier does say "frozen chicken breast" with no brand specified and the frozen chicken breast you paid for didn't have a pricetag listed ANYWHERE on it or in the store, but yeah, $4.40/lb is the correct price, actually."I refunded it.
>>544774370no, capitalism made it unprofitable to make your coinage out of valuable materials. Minimization of expenditure, maximization of income. Blame Rockefeller, not Berkowitz.
>>544763594Dollars have gotten so cheap!
>>544763594Receipts don't just list out generic names for the items you bought. It's going to tell you the brand name. Also, very "odd" that the old receipt has some significant discoloration but the ink is perfectly intact.
>>544763594>And I'm only making 2.5x the wage as I did back then.Fucking grim....
>>544766705I really really like this Pepe
>>544763594Eggs are 2.99 a dozen not 10 bucks. Gallon of Milk same. $4.59 not $5.99Bread is 3 dollars a loaf (cheap). Chicken Breast is $1.99 a pound, I just got some.Bananas' are .66 cents/ pound or $2.00Coffee can be gotten for 7-8 bucks.
>>544774568sure, YOU are, but what's the minimum wage where you live? What was it in 2002?
>>544774604>$1.99/lb chicken breasts You literally buy the goyest tier proteins. How do you "think" (as though an obese subhuman even has sapience) they get them that cheap? Probably kept crammed in cages, fed gmo onions and growth hormones.
>>544774545it's ai of courselook at the item id numbers, they are almost the same but with small changes like glitches, also unevenly printeddoesn't change the fact that $ lost 3/4 of the value since though
>>544770276>Wal-Mart is famous for not changing their item numbersSpoken by someones who's never worked grocery retail, or has any idea what the fuck hes talking about. You fucking idiot.
>>544763811Eggs are 10x the price and bread like 5x. Still doesn't add up to be acceptable
>>544763935i paid for a parking ticket in loose pennies
>>544763594We deserve what we tolerate
>>544763594>12 eggs for $9.48>The ink on the old reciept is still clear as day not faded at allYeah this pic is definitely fake. At least try to make it believable.
>>544774612It was around 5 bucks then, and is around 7bucks now lol.Granted my wage growth is entirely down to career advancement. Really don't know how people who aren't advancing are surviving at this point. Genuinely pity the next generation too since first job wages are really only up a little from then.
>>544774963Elon's gotta get his billions from somewhere. The rich get richer by extracting the value of the poor's labor, growing fat like a leech on our back. The poor LITERALLY have to get poorer, that's what makes the stock market lines go up.
>>544775053addendum: money is a force, an energy, a battery of potential, and energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. That's just physics. Make more bills, each bill is worth less, because there's a finite amount of wealth. The entire concept of endless wealth accumulation is suicidal on a sociological and species-wide level.
>>544763594>eggs $10yeah right, totally fake
>>544763594What bullshit is this? I literally bought milk at Walmart an hour ago for $3.28/gal. Eggs were on sale at Safeway for $0.99/dozen.Lay off the nigger sement, OP.
>>544763792The sku numbers would not be exactly the same. The chicken sku is the most obvious since it is sold by weight.
A carton of 12 eggs at Walmart is like 2.00 isnt it? If you buy 9.99 arent they some weird fancy ones or something? Why would you buy those unless you’re retarded? are they packed with 5X THE NUTRIENTS?
>>544775873they are absolutely not two dollars unless you live next to a fucking chicken hatchery
>>544770294Is that the watermark? I wondered why AI pictures started having this pattern
>>544775919wow I need to take a pic of the 12 medium eggs for 89 cents at my store
>>544776044wait, seriously? Where the fuck do you live?
>>544776068in the valley in caliwali
>>544763594lie, milk was $2.86/gallon today at fagmart, bananas are 50 cent/lb.
>>544763594lol at the item codes being the same after 24 years, you guys are dumb as shit
>>544776172i have never in my entire life heard someone call southern california caliwali, that is completely insane
>>544763792>this looks AI generatedZoomer or Gen Alpha detected. Or just a criminally financially irresponsible Millenial/Gen X'er. How deluded do you have to be to claim this shit is AI generated? 2002 was the height of McDick's Dollar Menu. Wal-Mart was still a 24/7 store. The economy was still "good". To be purely American, back in 2002 $20 would get you>a video game>2 or 3 DVDs>enough groceries for a week or more>a fast food order to feed a family of 5>movie theater tickets for 3 adults>1/30th of a month's rent>almost 15 gallons of gasolineDoing away with the Gold Standard has done nothing but devalue the dollar ever since. Generation after generation. Fuck Nixon. Dude doomed our entire country by switching us to fiat currency.
>>544775919Youre just wrong. I’ve been in two states rhe last few months and they were around two dollars in that state as well. Even if you round it up to 3.00 it wouldn’t be that bad. Because that’s protein for 4 meals. 3 eggs per meal.Google says they start at like 1.60 where donYOU live space? Eggs and bananas are some of the cheapest thing you can get these days which arent some canned food and it’s “real”
>>544763594Notice how it went from a five-pointed star to six?
>>544776334I mean hell maybe it's just because I live in the pacific northwest then
>>544776344I honestly never noticed that, wow

>>544774886consider that quote stolen
>>544776417you know what I can respect the hustle
>>544763594Prices may have gone up 4x, but wages have doubled. You didn't think of that, did you?
>>544776426buddy, bring the temperature down, they're just more expensive where I live, you don't need to jump to namecalling
your pay should have also gone up in 20 years though??? you didnt get raises that kept up with inflation? are you a school janitor?
>>544763792It's accurate though. In around 2010 that 58 dollar bill would have been about 30 dollars and that was after the 2008 crash and bailouts. 2002 we were still running on a strong 90s economy and dollar.
>>544776494but it isn't about you, personally, it's about the guy who just graduated from high school, or the guy who just got out of prison, or the guy who just lost everything.
>>544763594Ahh yes the twenty four year old thermal paper printout out still clear as day
why the fuck would anyone save a walmart receipt from 24 years ago
>>544776474You were the one throwing out the "capitalist" bullshit earlier. It's always the same shit here.
>>544776554capital is property you own that makes money for you without your labor. Capitalists doesn't mean anyone who lives in a capitalist country, it means people who make money for nothing. If I owned a stump-puller, one of those big gas engine ones, and people paid me to come rip out their stumps, I'm a laborer. If I own a stump-puller and people pay me to borrow it, pull their own stumps, return it, and I make money without working, that's being a capitalist.
>>544763594How are those eggs still at rape level? I'm in southern CA and I can get a decent carton of eggs for $6
>>544763792its a really obvious fake a number of reasons.>you bought coffee, not any particular type just regular ol' generic COFFEE 24 years apart>they never changed the number on it in 24 years, never cycled out what kind of coffee they sell>same goes for breadAlmost every item in walmart would have a reason one way or another to get a new number at minimum once every 5 years. Unless somehow some way the generic bread and coffee they sell never changed size or distributers in 24 years. And even then they probably would have changed it a few times for fun.Also receipt formatting has certainly changed more than that, and the store manager's name would be listed on the receipt.
>>544763594why didn't the american shopper give tip for this purchase?
>>544763935My economic barometer since the 90s has been Tootsie Rolls. Back in the '90s one Tootsie Roll cost 1¢. Whether it was chocolate or fruit flavored. Penny candies in gas stations and convenience stores were ubiquitous. This is no longer a reality. Nowadays, a single Tootsie Roll will cost you 10¢ or more. If you can even find a shop that sells penny candies. When I peruse the candy aisle of a gas/convenience store now, the cheapest candies I can find are at least $2 or more. The devaluation of the US Dollar is intentional bullshit.When my mom was a kid, grandpa would send her to the shops with $10 and she was able to buy a carton of cigarettes as well as enough sweets for her and her 6 siblings.
Op is a liar and a faggot.
>>544776963what's the location, anon. It's all blacked out. The location changes everything.
>milk: $6Stop buying your groceries at a bullshit everything store.
>>544763594This picrel implies an average 5.7% inflation compounded over 24 yearsIt proves what we all felt, but only had "anecdotal evidence" for: namely, that inflation has always been much, much higher than the "experts" are telling us.

>>544774486>NO! IT WUZ GABITOLIZZUM!Shut the fuck up you retarded communist.
>>544763594I remember 2002 quite well. Milk price looks about right. I remember $2.49. Milk is subsidized anyways. It's not the market price. A gallon of milk was 2 dollars flat in 1986. I remember buying it then too. Milk is actually cheap as fuck nowadays. Never been cheaper in my life.Eggs were almost always 99 cents for a dozen. Often sales were 79 cents, sometimes 89, every now and then 69 cents a dozen at Walmart. VERY occasionally you'd see 59 cents a dozen. Bread was the same. The fluffy white crap bread that most of America uses was 99 cents a loaf, sometimes cheaper with prices matching what the eggs would be. The "real bread" that wasn't made with white flour was a heavy little brick, somewhat smaller length, that went for $3.99 to $4.69 a loaf. That real bread would mold in three days, so eat it up. I don't know what that chicken breast is. What size is it? Who knows. Bananas? I waited for sales. Often, 29 cents a pound.I don't really drink coffee and never buy to make at home. Prices were actually cheaper than this.
