You have to account that vehicles of that time were far more basic than cars of today. Nobody makes a pickup truck with a carbureted straight six and manual brakes with no air conditioner and -optional- heater. It's actually illegal to sell a truck with that level of tech per federal regulations. There are various countries that produce trucks for domestic consumption as basic and they are very cheap. For example, Iran still makes a light pickup truck based on a 1970's Datsun(Nissan) design.

Well $0.65 in 1970 is about $4.30 today, and the current big Mac price in the US is $5.50ish. So in 50 years a combination of taxation changes, regulatory increases, administrative bloat and increased competition have lead to a 25% real increase in the price of a big Mac. The real lesson here is that people should stop eating fast food and cook their own burger for $0.65 at home.

Thank you anon, I do know what I'm talking about, but I don't have a good metric to measure inflation presently -- I don't believe any one has a way to: all we can do is look backwards and see it. I think we see inflation sneaking into asset prices via wages/cheap credit. Inflation is clearly happening and is observable in prices, yet the Fed says it is not happening. Just get cheap credit and loans as fast as you can. The sooner the better, hopefully Trump gets interest rates lower.

I know, but its also not that simple. Usa probably wouldnt have won the cold war without debasement.
You dont have a right to live in "good times" only because its not something anyone can guarantee

But it is absolute madness we have to make financial agreements denominated in a unit of wealth that losses 7%pa and monetary policy is dictated to us by a private bank that we have no political representation in.

define the cold war. you mean the result of us paying for europes defense so they could live the high life at us taxpayers expense?
we are 5000 miles away with an immense military and nukes. we never needed to be involved in any of that.....
Is it better that the nigerians control paris instead of the ruskies?

Getting a full MC combo meal in my country costs more than going out to eat on an actual decent burger place.

People only go to fast food chains for the discounted items / combo meals.

Too much tax, too much debasement, too many corrupt institutes but you still have property rights you still have the constitution. It all boils down to having faith reality/history is headed in the right direction with setbacks along the way or not
