Inflation is merely an indication of how much value the elites/banks have stolen from the American people with fractional reserve banking. Newly created money gets all it's value from existing money. Wealth is not created with the printing of new money, it's stolen.

(sorry for the length but this needs to get out to those who are clueless)

Right! What most folks don't understand, because it's kept from them, is that our financial system is a giant Ponzi/Pyramid scheme created by the robber barons of the 1800's...in 1913. They bought a handful of senators and over the Christmas break when everyone had left DC, they passed the Federal Reserve Act that gave the criminal banksters the RIGHT to counterfeit money! Plain and simple. Our Constitution says that only Congress has the right to coin (create) money.

Now, a Ponzi scheme collapses when the promoter can't con any new folks into giving him their money so that he can keep paying those at the top that he's previously conned. Our government spending, our yearly budget (Defense, SSA, student loan forgiveness etc.) IS that new money coming in on the bottom in order to keep the scheme from total collapse.

So, if any lying politician tells you that they are gonna curb government spending, they're blowing smoke up your azz. Cause they know full well what's going on and no one wants to be the cause of the most horrific crash the world has ever seen. So they're gonna keep spending and YOU are gonna keep being enslaved and footing the bill (being the new money at the bottom!).

Our only hope, as I see it, is crypto and/or aliens landing and bitch slapping the banksters and freeing us. Both are somewhat long shots. But I'd buy me a lil crypto just in case.

If that were the prices now, those greedy assholes would still make money!

TigerPaw7•29 months

These should be the prices now.

So all 13,000 fans are going to allow the concession stands to have leftover stock, right?

Robber DeNiro•29 months

They are like 6 dollars today

Cwils2222•29 months

The losses they must have had to take when all 936 fans took advantage of this.

...and they packed the house. Steelers fans that is.

An entire organization, fan base and city living in the past.

I wouldn’t say the city is. The organization can’t help that the majority of its city population cares way more about fútbol.

According to the inflation calculator, that hot dog cost $14.20 in today's money.

2 bucks for a hot dog in 72 was expensive. Just a couple years ago they were only like 5.

Zzyzx•29 months

Hot dogs cost more than $2 now?

Not at Sam’s Club

cajunmud•29 months

I'm thinking that that should be today's prices. I can't believe prices in general and stadium prices in particular.

Thanks Federal Reserve banksters and bought & paid for politicians!

Understanding the federal reserve, and that there is nothing federal about it (it’s a private bank), is the beginning to understanding why our political system is what it is, and why the use identity politics to divide us…..

And they still probably made a profit.

DiamondDog•29 months

$2.00 for a hot dog in 1972 is really expensive.

DiamondDog•29 months

Equal price today is $13 and its hard to believe anybody pays that for a hot dog.
