The time needed to get $1 in international dollars is 63 minutes in the US. This is about twice the average in Germany, France and the UK according to an Oxford University researcher. This suggests that average poverty is significantly higher in the US.
Are you having trouble understanding what you read? I never claimed that the Rolling Stones were not a top act in the 1979ties 🙄
The $8 with inflation and all that comes to approximatly $25-30 or so in 2026 dollars, which is similar to what an entry ticket to a concert of a lesser known band costs these days. And as an occasional treat that is still affordable for low income people.
Do I have to go back and repost the rest of the thread?
It’s one thing to ignore all the facts available, but a much bigger deal if you can’t remember things you wrote that same day.
This is taken out of context. Anyways, the Rolling Stones in the 1970ties were like Justin Biber in the 2010s. Top of the charts, but not very well liked outside a fan group that doesn’t have a lot of disposable income, so the concerts were/are priced accordingly.
It’s funny to watch you use all your intelligence to keep arguing, when you could have read the entire book, “Hell’s Angels” by now.
Also, are you still trying to pretend you were around in the 1970s, or are you willing to admit that was a really dumb thing to say?
Its funny how you try to keep arguing when your point was entirely based on vibes and substantiated by nothing but make believe on your side (and a failure to understand basic economics and inflation).
You hilarious.
A book, written at the time, reviewed and critiqued at the time, is ‘vibes’ and ‘make believe.’
You’re the one who thought that underwater workers were little better than common laborers.
There hasn’t been one thing you’ve written that was even vaguely accurate.
And when you asked how I knew you weren’t around in the 1970s I literally laughed out loud.
This was never a discussion. This was you unintentionally amusing me with your half baked antics.
Farewell.
Please don’t put words in my mouth which I never said nor implied.
Sadly this discussion was not very fruitful as you just ignored all the facts and misinterpreted a historical source to fit to your faulty analysis of what is actually happening. But I am not surprised as that is the usual state of things when you try to argue with facts and not vibes and make-believe with strangers on the internet 🤷
I know people working as scuba divers on oil rigs that work 1-2 months a year only. This isn’t a very highly skilled job and mostly involves manual labor,
Again, you make me laugh out loud.
I was going to ignore you, but your antics are so entertaining.
Try to come up with an actual fact about anything.
I thought this is farewell? Can’t have someone else get in the last comment? 🤡
