It takes over an hour of work to feed one person with these prices. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 child) I don’t know I’m a pretty anti-American American.

So over 2 hours worth of work at the minimum wage just for one pack of smokes Now, this may sound like an old fogey story, but perhaps the point is that I entered the workforce when minimum wage was like $7.35 an hour less than 15 years ago, and I already have old fogey economic stories Fast food is a similar story. It’s something bad for our health but was more excusable back when it was cheaper relative to wages. The fuck would I work myself to death just to be able to smoke a dart or eat a garbage hamburger? permalink fedilink source parent
