To have the same affordability as a 1960 Corvette at 4000 hours worth of work, minimum wage would need to be $60.
Progress, but in the wrong direction. $60 minimum wage is absurd.
I don't have a degree in economics, but I can spot a scam.
One of the things I've noticed is that the price of feeling rich has gone up tremendously faster than inflation.
Look at 1960 prices for luxury goods and compare them to today. The Corvette is a good example; a top of the line Cadillac was about $5,000.00 and a Rolls Royce was about $25,000.00
Tickets to the Super Bowl were about $12.00 and front row tickets to Ali/Fraiser were $200.00.
If they made Pulp Fiction today it would be a $100.00 milk shake.
It isn't enough that we're broke, they want us to see it every day.
