Huh?
Yeah, I think someone needs to move to the real world. In 1972 I could buy all the choice T-bone steak I wanted for $.79 a pound, everyday price at an IGA market a mile from my home. A person earning the minimum wage of $1.60 an hour could buy two pounds with one hour’s gross pay. I was earning about $3.50 an hour so I could buy four pounds of T-bone with baking potatoes for one hour’s pay. Try doing that with $7.35 now, you need an hour and a half to buy ONE pound. I don’t know what people get out of peddling this nonsense. In terms of hours worked per pound T-bone is three times as expensive as it was forty three years ago. In fact the state of South Carolina recently lowered the sales tax on groceries or the sales tax would be more than the cost of the steak was in 1972. If you eat in a restaurant now you pay the full sales tax and you generally pay more in sales tax than the meal including sales tax cost back then. Anyone who thinks the price of meat has fallen dramatically must be living on a different planet.
