For all of you complaining about gasoline prices

Cool.

Still too damn high

But but but

The real question is why aren't you complaining like the rest of all of us?

Because I recognize that adjusted for inflation it isn’t a huge increase. I do get that the volume of gasoline people purchase versus other commodities and services is different. My parents paid $13 a month for cable tv and $0.35 for a loaf of bread in 1979. Those items have increased by a factor of 10.

I do not stress over the price because it really doesn't matter. My 36 gallon tank @ $2.20 is $79.20. @ $3.25 is $117. I fill up once every 3 weeks. Yeah it sucks that its $37 more expensive, but I have been trying not to stress about things I cannot control.

I wonder how many people complaining about the increase frequently eat at restaurants versus at home. I’m not saying you do, but my wife and I ate a light lunch at a BBQ restaurant today and it was $37.

Sorry to disappoint you, I’m not a boomer and my post is accurate.

Thanks, Donald….this makes me feel a lot better.

We need a list of items that are ok to be upset about if there’s a piece increase

Just pick the historical year that you want the average price of commodities and services to match and then lower your salary based on inflation to the same year equivalent. Want 1976 prices, fine what would your pay be in 1976 dollars?
