GOP "consultant" (paid hoe) Caroline Sunshine was on Jesse Watters show last night telling people: "Ummm well like actually maybe you shouldn't like um make fun of people because they can't um like actually afford a $20 burrito. That like um lyke makes them really mad and they tend to not vote for you...actually."

I don't really know what a burrito's supposed to cost, but I remember 89 cent burgers, and $4 burgers, and $8 burgers, and I guess it's like $10 now (?)

The Hundred Dollar Hamburger seems like an impenetrable wall, but is it really?

What's the chance we really get to $100 for a burger or a burrito in our lifetimes?

A big mac is probably around $6 in most areas now. See https://macmenuprices.com/ since McDonald's demands you download their app to see prices.

With 3% inflation prices double every 24 years, more or less. So 96 years will give you a $96 big mac. Of course real inflation is quite a bit more than 3%.
