I remember in High School I'd play hookey, go to the local burger king, buy a whopper with a coupon for $1, get a cup for "water" and then jump on the bus for less than 2 bucks round trip and see a movie for 5 bucks.

@SwordFighterSuper @All_bonesJones @Terry so that's what.... about $7 today assuming the fake and gay metric which doesn't take into account the exponential increases in other areas which make the cost of living go up and up and up

what's even more insane to me is that gen-X keeps up the boomer narrative of how much harder it was for them in the 80s when they paid for a truck for $50 bucks and had to put in about $100 bucks into it over a yearwhen they were 19-20 so that they could laboriously work 40 hour days at a hardware store during the summer to pay for two semesters of college. As if today any of that is even remotely possible lol.

@FailurePersonified @All_bonesJones @Terry Don't worry, both Millennials and Zoomers will some day be as out of touch as the previous generations.
@SwordFighterSuper @FailurePersonified @Terry who said anything about out of touch
boomers are just evil, not out of touch. they had their soul sucked out by the tv. totally oneshotted by it
