The value of a dollar is a joke, now.
Canadian beer pricing example: when I was 20, I earned 8.50/hr. Beer - 6 bucks for a 24.
At age 60, 28/hr. Beer - 50 bucks for a 24.

Beer : ~ 800 % increase
Wages : ~ 300 % increase.




I bought a brand new car, in 1972, for 1800 HUNDRED dollars. Sure, it was a Pinto, nevertheless ......

How can the low wage earners feed their families, given the present situation? Beats me.
