No they wouldn’t. Wanna do this again? That’s not how it works at all and you make me look retarded. It was a lot easier but not $200 an hour. It was more like $16 an hour at 18 with cheap rent and no feminism.

I did the math.
A waitress earning $3.75/HR would be earning about $200/HR in today's wages.
Yup.

Your math is shit.

Naw.
My math is accurate.
You must be a Boomer.
Boomers hate to hear how easy they actually had it.
It destroys their world view that they somehow had it tougher.

3.75/hour in 1915?

1974 gold was $35/oz. At $3.50/hr you earn the purchasing power of 3g/gold per hour.
Today to earn the same, you'd have to earn about $200/hr.
Boomers hate hearing that.
They talk about a basket of goods.
Why not a straight comparison?

Yeah no.
My math and reasoning are sound.
Boomers really fucking hate it.
But yeah a waitress was earning approx $200/hr in today's wages.
