This guy has a point, and I’m going to hammer it home for a lot of y’all who weren’t alive (or were babies) then. Here are some prices from my hometown in 1995. These are all things that are still sold today and if you want a one-to-one comparison you can look up current prices in Pennsylvania.
A LOAF OF GOOD BREAD: 69 cents
A GALLON OF GAS: 95 cents
A GALLON OF MILK: 79 cents
TWO COMBO MEALS AT TACO BELL: $8 and change
A HERSHEY BAR: 60 cents or two for a dollar
THE NEW YORK TIMES: 35 cents on weekdays, 50 cents on Sundays
A PACK OF RAMEN: ten cents but sometimes they’d also do 20-for-a-dollar sales
A BOTTLE OF WHITE RAIN SHAMPOO: 89 cents
A LARGE PACK OF GUM: 79 cents
You might be noticing only one item on this list is over a dollar. And if you know this is how it was more or less until I was 12, me still thinking ten dollars is a lot of money probably makes a lot more sense.
Incorporate this into your wage activism, because prices were like that for A REALLY LONG TIME, and for like five years after Dubya shot that to shit he also sold us the lie that these higher prices were an anomaly and would drop back down.

Apparently Phil Tippett’s response to this meme is this: “I’m sick of all this ‘Phil Tippett Dinosaur Supervisor - You Had One Job to Do’ stuff. Because it looks to me like they’re [the dinosaurs] all hitting their marks just fine. It’s called ACTING.”
I THOUGHT THIS WAS BULLSHIT BUT APPARENTLY IT IS REAL I’M FUCKING SCREAMING
