Tata Nano.

I mean, they don't make them anymore, but they were pretty cheap while they lasted.

It seems to me the minimum hourly wage was well under a dollar in the 50's but my memory is not perfect so if you find otherwise, please let me know too......God bless you C.

Around 1972 the minimum wage was $1.35. Thats what I was getting paid back then. I'd get a raise whenever the minimum wage went up.

Hot-take.

Whoever drives electric cars is going to Hell.
Gas cars go to Heaven.

Thoughts?

I know some people who drive gas cars, and if they get to Heaven the Bible was lying to me. :p

think of any object. did the cost ever go down & down? no. everything is always rising in cost. sometimes not due to the love of money but usually is.

Actually it's got to do with inflation, which has mostly been caused by the govmint spending more than it has.

I'm no economicist, but...
Retail usually goes by,
"Whatever the market will bear."

In the news yesterday, they said that 80% of the cash printed in history (American Dollar, FRN) was printed in the past three years.
Inflation certain accounts for high prices. Wages are not adjusted for the same ratio.
So, yes inflation and whatever prices will make the most profit for the companies.....both of those are what sets prices.
