He's a really fucking old ass dude. When he was 20 years old gas was around $3.05 a gallon if you adjust for inflation. It's $4.50 near me right now.

But hey, let's talk about wages and electricity costs. Let's chat about rent and the cost of a house these days. Let's see what the cost of goods and groceries is doing. Most of us need computers, so let's talk about RAM and SSD costs under this regime that just dereguated AI and is nullifying state AI laws.

It's all worse.

Edit: let's just do the first two.

  1. prices for electricity are 938.39% higher in 2025 versus 1953
  2. prices for rent of primary residence are 1,177.60% higher in 2025 versus 1953
