2%, the dildo says. Remarkable job, he says.
gas
milk
housing
bread
I remember when gas and bread were around 10 cents - one silver dime. A home was maybe 10 grand.
Our new 3 bedroom in town cost 7200 in '63. At 2% inflation, it would be worth about 17k today. Let's see what zillow says, mr. 2%.
.60,000.
If gas was 25 cents in '63, it should be 58 cents today, figuring 2% per annum inflation. Ditto bread. Ditto milk.
It almost looks like someone is full of ****.
Looks like I can believe about 2% of what this remarkable knob job has to say.

If gender is not sex, why should a gender claim change what sex you shower with?
