Too funny.
Phat, I was an optician and I made $400 a month salary.
Gas was about a quarter a gallon.
My rent was $90.00 a month and that included all utilities.
Stop thinking in terms of one dimension.
Minimum wage was about a dollar an hour.
Yes inflation happens but so does wage increases.
The problem is the willful ignorance of folk like you and a significant percentage of the US voting population; YOU elect and support people that fuck you. That's not their fault, it's YOUR fault.
Stop believing the Snake Oil Salesmen and actually learn the basics.
