I've never bought a taco at Taco Bell that didn't just incidentally come with a $5 box. They're without a doubt the best fast food place at this point, but actually ordering a taco off the menu is almost as retarded as getting a griller or a queserito as opposed to a 5 layer.

19 cents in 1962 is the equivalent of $1.20 today so really who gives a shit.

Literally the same price once inflation has been counted in.

I always have to explain this to people on /k/ when they bitch about firearm prices.
>hurr mosins used to be 60 bucks in the 80s! now they're 200 bucks what a rip off!

It doesn't go over their heads, they acknowledge its existence but they think it's some kind of Jewish international conspiracy to steal from them because they are too stupid to realize that stashing a wheelbarrow full of cash under your mattress to get eaten by maggots is not, in fact, a risk-free retirement plan

Neither is leaving it in an account that Federal agencies have complete and utter control over whenever they so decide.

I think it has more to do with wages have not risen with inflation. Hence the Jewish conspiracy, as "they" raise prices but refuse to pay more, so "they" get richer but people stay poorer.

To be fair maybe 3-5 years ago you could buy a mosin for less than $100. I own two SKS rifles I bought for a combined $250 along with 1000 rounds of ammo
