California’s minimum wage isn’t enough to keep up with workers’ costs of living, new report says ( calmatters.org )

Something I’ve noticed. If you watch movies/TV from the 1970s and earlier, the characters will often use exact figures in dialog. Jim Rockford made $200 a day, plus expenses. By the 1980s, inflation was getting bad, so they didn’t do it as much, as something that was wildly expensive in the past was now reasonable. Remember the $5.00 milkshake from Pulp Fiction?
