What is (and was) the starting hourly wage for the restaurant ? compare it to the Burger Deluxe price over the last 20 to 30 years
starting wage for Burger King on Thomas Drive in Panama City Beach is $15 per hour, and its about $11 total for a large Whopper Meal (large fries and large drink)

Average starting wage was around $6.00 back in 1995 in Panama City Beach (and around $5 for minimum wage set in Florida)
So the whopper meal was only 50% of hourly starting wage. It is not the case now, as it is around 75% of starting wage.

CPI reported today for month of August 2024
overall or headline CPI is 2.5%
core CPI (overall CPI minus food and gas) is 3.2%
nothing to be happy or too excited about as I think the Fed may just lower the Fed Funds rate this month from 5.5% to 5.25%
granted at CPI is trending down from 2022 levels when overall CPI reached above 8%

may mean more bank fees and less interest paid , or they modernize and streamline their bank operations to not pass on the labor cost increase to the clients

this will help to keep the CPI and PCE aggregate for restaurant food down
I usually order 2 of these and my wife gives me her burger since she just wants the drink , fries and McNuggets

Amazon is introducing a grocery brand to compete with Walmart's Great Value brand
Its call Amazon Saver
Will see how good of a deal Amazon Saver is and what products it has to offer as far as keeping grocery inflation down
I'm excited there is going to be an Aldi opening by January 2025 near me ; gives me a welcome break from going to Walmart

Thing about melatonin is that even the smaller bottle is a lifetime supply. A tiny nibble on one and I'll be way out.

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.
EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'
