So as everything goes up

When I worked at a gas station in High School - (late 70s) a gallon of gas was 57 cents - now it's $5.70 so a good solid 10X increase...

I think minimum wage was about $2.10 and hour, now it's about $15 - so that was not a solid 10X

Apparently voting republican keeps you poor?

Yeah, there's no point in raising minimum wage.

My dad used to complain it cost 4 pence to get bus to town. Now, over a similar distance the going rate is about £5.00. So, over time, any about is possible. But wages are meant to keep pace with inflation for precisely this reason. That’s not kicked in yet.

For what distance though?

I'll just have to remember to travel within my bus-pass hours. Assuming it still exists.

As you ask though, where will it end? Not in any good place, that's for sure.

Always up an doesn’t go down its a cycle over yrs with high rises every 10 yr ish !

But the bees are fish now..
all is well..
