We discussed how the staggering rise in fast food prices leaves us feeling nostalgic for the good old days of cheap burgers and fries.
The conversation took a deep dive into why we react so strongly to changes in money's value, feeling like we're losing a part of our past.
We explored the idea that rather than questioning economic changes, many of us just reminisce about better financial times.
There’s a sense of societal weariness that comes from feeling broke, which we humorously likened to the experience of looking at an old McDonald's menu.
As that is, what really bugged me was how I and a lot of other people reacted to it.
Speaker A:
We were looking at this menu like it was some ancient artifact, and I think I know why.
Speaker A:
I think we've just accepted that our money's value disappears, and instead of asking why, we're nostalgic, you know, for what was including cheaper hamburgers.
Speaker A:
And I think this says a lot about where we are as a society today, wary.
