@@leafiiloran There are federal and state minimums, some states simply follow the federally set minimum wage while others go above it. Was the same back then... that isn't saying that everyone followed the rules, same as today there are those who will try whatever they can to take advantage of people in desperate situations, or who don't know better.
It's scary how the regular cheese burger was roughly 89 cents in the 80s and I remember paying 89 cents as well in the 90s. Now we can't go a year with same prices 😅
I really liked this one. I love it when they actually have to use logic to come up with their answers, because Rhett always tries his hardest to give a very thoughtful decision, and the Link just kind of wings it.

Not really, salaries basically matched inflation over this time. Since the 1970s, Real (inflation adjusted) median salaries never deviated my more than 10%.
There was crazy inflation in the 70s and early 80s, like more than last year for 10 years in a row. If you didn't know that, you wouldn't do well in this game. In fact, the 30-year US treasury bond reached almost 15% interest in 1982, which is crazy, that's 15% annual interest for 30 years completely risk-free.
Sometimes I think about the fast food chains around the studio and if they are used to occasionally getting orders like 50 tacos, or two of every single variety of donut at this point.
The issue with Rhett using the inflation rate not only is the general inflation rate wont necessarily be the same for all products but the fact that the sizes are not necessarily the same as they are currently so the price in the 70s would reflect a larger size
They claim inflation was only 12% in the last year, but our local food prices all went up between 50% and 100% depending on the item. I used to get a whole chicken at the grocery store for $6 last year, now it's $12. Pudding mixes that were $1 last year are $1.50 and so on. Milk was $4 a gallon last year, now it's $6. Nothing only went up 12%. Even the hardware store has been doubling its prices on just about everything.
From the use of mum I'm assuming you're British or Australian and you learning the American inflation rate of fast food when it's practically useless to you is hilarious to me.
Importantly, when I was 16 in 2003, Kroger receipts had a coupon on the back that offered 2 Big n Tasty burgers for $1. And it was the best summer of my life...
13:00 Actually most people including the official release misquoted him. It was "One small step for A man, one giant leap for mankind." Even the museum accepts it as without the "a" in it claiming regardless of his intention he didn't actually say it, whilst Armstrong insisted he did say the "a" it just wasn't picked up by the radio.
This is the best episode beside the will it series informative, funny shows how much read the corporations have lol 😂 but love this will be coming back for more of these

Underrated. I watched it like 3 times lmao
And then Link just goes, eh, I'm taking this many.

Did you get burnt?
Did anyone else find it kind of cute when Rhett deferred completely to Link on his Beatle's knowledge? Like no hesitation just trust.

He was top in his class.
I knooow, I keep wondering how did he ever graduate lmao
as an engineering student, if you dont keep using the stuff you learn, you'll pretty much lose almost all of it. so, i dont blame him much

I'm teaching division to my class right now. Totally going to use these as some 'real world' problems. Thanks GMM for making my morning!
Link having to chant 8.6 over and over is so relatable 😂 I'm useless with numbers.
I love that both Link and Chase did that 😂
I was dying when he told Link to remember it and then realised his mistake and immediately switched to Chase "as he forgets things" 😂
Alternate titles for this game: (a) How depressing is your age? (b) How depressing is inflation?
Rhett doing math about the burger prices while link sits there and nods his head is hilarious lol
Link would absolutely be me. I can't do mental math, so I just wait until someone else comes up with the answer, lol.
I absolutely love this new game so much!! I hope they make it a regular game, like will-it and where in the world!
Stevie is allowed to do what she wants. She's like the heart of GMM, at least from our prospective.

Nearly a 10X increase in prices. Wages went up maybe 5x. Welcome to America. Ceo / executive pay went up nearly 100x by the way
Another great episode to start my morning but let's be honest here.. those price inflations hurt alot.
Next episode: "How much did Executives make 50 years ago?" lol
Link: Has an engineering degree
Also Link: "I can tell by how fast it went down"
That's a physics/engineering principle!
*This was a great way to tell us that our bank accounts are screwed*
as an economics major studying for finals right now, this episode of gmm was extremely entertaining lol
That interpretive dance/how it works section was awesome but, I too, did not remember a single word stevie said lol
they compliment each other so well i loved watching this lol best duo on youtube
