To have gone from the New Deal era to…this.
What a tragedy. The conservative movement needs to be utterly destroyed and the ground it stood on salted.

So in 2025, a minimum wage worker at $7.25/hr 2025 dollars at McDonald's has to work over an hour to afford a big Mac meal.
In 1974, that minimum wage worker at $2/hr 1974 dollars was making twice as much money, and could buy 2 with one hour's wages.
