the Playstation 2 launched at $299 USD.

Not disagreeing with you, but with inflation that's about $558 as of this comment.

    Inflation, yeah. The thing that has absolutely never been applied to wages?

    This, people still trying to feed their families with 7.25, not out of laziness or refusal to get "real job" but desperation

    "You're paid what you're worth!111!!11"

    Bitch if human beings were paid what they were worth, poverty would actually be a moral failing instead of a societial one.

    I hear about these cases of inflation, like the fact a pack of gum cost 15 trillion Zimbabwe dollars, or immediately after WWII the German...reichmarke or whatever they called it, was so worthless it took a wheelbarrow full to buy a loaf of bread.

    Where do I get a wheelbarrow full of uselessly inflated USD? It's not actually inflation, is it?
