Here is a nice little inflation chart I've assembled:

You people are upset about (analogy) gas being 5.31 a gallon when you should be upset that you don't make enough to afford gas at 5.31 a gallon. You should make enough to afford a $450 switch 2, and the fact that you don't is because your masters have been stealing from you for 30+ years. Or since forever, if you're as woke as me.
