I encountered a young man recently who did not know what inflation was.

I knew what inflation was in grade school, growing up around adults who talked endlessly of what things cost during the great depression...

The notion that the entire military in the world is part of the US forces is just staggeringly stupid. How can you grow up and not see at least one movie about WW2?

“How can you grow up and not see at least one movie about WW2?”

I didn’t mention it in the original post, but I did in fact ask her about her knowledge of World War 2 and, specifically, who she thought it was our guys were fighting. She conceded that “fascist countries” did have armed forces at one time, but they were defeated and we are the only ones left.
