Comment on The $20 USD bill is the new 5$ bill

Gasoline price is about the same and the price of noodles hasn’t gone up much. But the price of rent and weed has skyrocketed, so…
🤷
and the price of noodles hasn’t gone up much
From 8.3 cents per package to 33.3 per seems like a jump that qualifies as “much”. And if you get it on scamazon it’s 62.9 cents per.
This is based off the cost of a 24 pack of Maruchan chicken ramen packets.
I won’t lie, I haven’t really kept up too much with the price of noodles over the past decades, but I loosely recall them going for somewhere around 18 cents a pack back around 10 years ago.
Yeah, even those numbers don’t sound wallet happy, but hey, at least we don’t have to worry about pennies anymore, so of course everything rounds up right?
Fuck. ☹️
I did some research and it looks like the price of maruchan scales exactly with inflation.
Depends on where you live. I can get an ounce of weed, 28g for you people with better measurement systems, for $22-50 and I have a large variety of strains to choose from.
Thanks homie, but I had to spend my lunch money on tires and rent. At least beer and cigars are still cheaper than a bottle of water here, so… 🤷
If your ounce weighs 28g, you got shorted 2g…
I guess for that price it doesn’t really matter, but it’s about the principle!
1 oz = 28.35 g
Maybe that 1/3 of a gram is shorting someone, but a single ounce is closer to 28g than to 30g.
Oh shit, you’re right. My weed-addled brain got “1/8th = 3.5g” mixed up with “1/4 = 7g” and came up with “7.5×4=30”
These things do happen…
Weed still costs the same as 20 years ago here in Copenhagen, but the food prices have doubled.
Legal weed is one of the biggest scams on the planet, along with rent.
Ah yes, people no longer going to jail over a flower to be exploited for slave labor and lose all future job prospects is such a scam 🤷♀️
It’s not that its legal; it’s the legal market.
Everyone buying their weed legally is getting scammed to high-heaven.
Everyone who lives under capitalism is getting scammed to high heaven, I don’t know why we should limit that statement to encompass only one market…

New plan. Cars that run on noodles!
Wait, gas prices didn’t go up. That makes no sense…
Ok. Houses made out of noodles, and we’ll all smoke gasoline!

I think we already all smoke gasoline anyways, it’s called exhaust… ☹️

The cost of producing gas definitely went up. It’s just subsidized more from everyone’s taxes.

Ramen noodle packs make good insulation for walls
