Fair point. Min wage was ~1.45 in 70s and if a candy bar was a nickle that would amount to being 0.03 percent of an hour's wage. While a candy bar now [the good kind] are around $3.50, which [in my state] is almost 30 percent of an hour's wage. Similarly, according to google a vinyl was around $3... That would be what 2 hours wages... A vinyl today goes from $20-35.. Which is still like 2 hours wages in the good states and about 3-4 hours wages in others.. But vinyl costing more makes sense since a lot of people are not interested in having vinyl even if it has better sound quality..

But you're pretty much right about the universities; especially the ivys... Remember Bella Knox ... But here's something that will have to go into a spoiler box because its going to piss people off:

I really don't think having a degree is necessary for everyone, especially with having a minimum of $25k in debt with a degree in things like Philosophy, Sociology... Degrees in things that require a Master's and higher to get a job in. Philosophy majors get jobs in universities and will almost always have Ph.Ds... For liberal arts degrees (e.g., social sciences except for psych) a lot who don't go on to grad schools tend to get entry level jobs for which have little if anything to do with their degree..

Here comes the part that people will hate: In some form or another poverty is necessary. Many of the institutions that people love having rely on workers who are generally poor and are not fulfilled by the work they are doing. Maids; Fast-Food Employees; cashiers; the guy that guards the movies to determine no one is going in without paying... not sure if they still do that. lol.. But still [and I'll point out that I'm specifically referring to the US if it wasn't already clear] but being poor is necessary for society to function to a certain degree. Not absolute poverty obviously, but enough that would support the continuance of aforementioned institutions that we all enjoy (e.g., fast food, hotels, theatres, museums, etc.) I won't expound further since I'm bored and people are probably already pissed at what i've already said. lmao

my first job was at 15 for 1.85 an hour. 8am to 7 pm 5 days a week sometimes 6 and i only took 30 min lunches.
cracks me up when ppl stress out over a 4-6 hours shift.

i just know some people will never pay the price of consistency and good decisions needed to improve.

that doesn't even seem like a shift.. more like a hobby. My mother often would work 100 hours per paycheck, so I understand what you mean.. Which is why having to put up with the constant jargon spouted out by professors in my grad program about the working class is taxing on my mental health.. I grow weary of the ivory tower professors who spout out the same jibberish to gain social currency like the way rich b----s from real housewives use charities as a way to improve their status.. So disingenuous. "I care about the obscene cost of tuition... But let me just collect my 75k salary." Sorry I rambled. lol

i just know some people will never pay the price of consistency and good decisions needed to improve.

As a poor child I was all for cheap rent and living in sh*t conditions as long as it meant I could have luxury items... Now that I'm past adulthood I could give a f**k about luxury items if it means dealing with the things that come with living in such conditions (e.g., rampant drug use, prostitution, murder, etc.)... But it is frightening when people keep to that mindset of hedonism without restrictions.
