Opinions can be reversed

Sometimes the news media will make a big deal about inflation. They will say stuff to the effect that people that made 35 k a year in 1990 are the equivalent of making 100 K a year now. This is meant to make the people earning a tenth of A million dollars to be humble. basically if you make "only" 100 k you are worthless as a human being It makes me think that even earning a cool Buck, now, is the equivalent of only making 35k from 1990?

Well, I make well over 100,000/yr so I dont have to worry about it.

And thank god for that, feel sorry for the worthless bastards who make less.

Well, I was gonna write a big comment, but since I'm a "worthless bastard" what the point?

Phoenix -- "Bastard" is kind of hard but congratulations on making 35k a year (in 1990 dollars according to the tool I was talking with that night)maybe I should take this particular post down as after I read it it makes it seem like these are my opinions not the "tools."
