That's still the average Rant user's yearly salary
Crazy how the more things change the more they stay the same

I don't think too many people want to go backwards and live in times prior to the 1960's
It's amazing how primitive things were back in the 40's

Interesting to calculate these values in todays purchasing power. You see some things are cheaper today, some are more expensive. Gas really wasn’t that cheap then

If you could get them. WWII was going on and a lot of things were rationed. My older brother was on a sub in the South Pacific when I was born in August that year.

The way it was delivered and ability to keep it from going bad?

I feel like most LSU fans probably feel about us beating them, its just not worth worrying about, much bigger fish to fry

You misunderstood. It doesn’t cost 9 dollars today.
62 cents in 1944 is the equivalent of 9
dollars today adjusted for inflation and purchasing power

Read my post. 21 cents sounds cheap but it’s the equivalent of paying 3.36 today. So it really wasn’t that cheap back then

1944 probably the last time y'all upgraded any of your shitty facilities ...

All we hear from your fanbase is that you’re the superior program with great facilities. Well, all that money and fan support still can’t buy a win up here.
