Biggest indicator of US decline: You could buy 6 BigMacs with 1 hour of minimum wage in 1980, but today you can’t even buy one, despite minimum wage more than doubling.

explaining purchasing power collapse to an american: imagine no burger

Seriously, think about this for a moment. Nothing technological or ecological happened to make producing burgers more expensive. If anything, burgers should be wildly cheaper today than they once were.

What has happened is just theft. Theft through monopoly and vertical market integration destroying any semblance of competition, so prices can just go up and up and up without any connection to actual value of labor. And without rewarding labor.

The people making the extra money from this rise in cost of a Big Mac did not improve its quality. They did not contribute anything to the world. They just seized control of the supply and are now extorting you as surely as a group of armed bandits who steal six out of seven of your Big Macs on the way home and leave you one to split with your whole family.

Trump: backstage, I saw Ron pick an M&M off the floor and eat it. One of the woke colors too.
*Booing*
Desantis: it’s not true (to moderator) he’s lying!
Trump: he ate it like a dog folks
