At a certain point, you just get tired of explaining that prices and wages don't increase at a 1:1 rate.

But alas, it's either that or just watch more and more people advocate for dumb poo poo that their dumb poo poo brains don't understand.

Things could be going better

Even if prices of items skyrocketed to the point where the average person's buying power stays constant, that isn't inflation. Inflation would be printing more money to adjust for the wage increase. The only people that increasing wages would screw over would be the rich

The minimum wage should be what it was in 1998: the price of 72 Freddos. :colbert:

The apparent source
“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of who will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.”

Correct, and it's used to illustrate Purchasing Power Parity between nations, more or less like that Freddos/hour comparison between countries instead of time periods. There's also the KFC index for comparing prices across African countries, and the Christmas Price Index, for pricing all the things my true love sent to me and tracking how it changes from year to year.

There isn't anything wrong with it, it's 100% accurate, the Freddo standard is a founding plank of UKMT policy.

One of the major planks of the GOP platform is that Democrats enslave Black people through the sinister tactic of trying to help them.

yeah, its the sister argument to saying "So you're saying blacks are too stupid to figure out the DMV" when pointing out systemic voter suppression. It can NEVER be their fault, it can NEVER be a minority or a woman being right.

The lack of specific details such as, you know, a name of the university should have been a clue it wasnt a real news article.

It's chronically unfunny but its rather blatantly trying to ape the onions writing style.
