Never heard of inflation, huh. Our education system is failing.
Inflation is literally the point of the meme. If you didn't realize that, then you're proving your second sentence to be true.
The meme is not saying anything of any substance. It's not showing anything about the cost of living, income, or anything actually interesting. It's just "hur due, inflation. Bygone era, hur dur."
Maybe because it's a meme.
It's a really dumb meme.
I think you're in the wrong place if you're wanting a long-form commentary on American economics. This is, and I can't stress this enough, a place for memes.
Your mom is a meme.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.
Remember when lunch was a dime and we made 5¢ an hour? Hur dur.
