When I was a teenager, gas cost around $0.16 per gallon and sirloin was about the same per pound. The current minimum wage would have been good pay back then.

I was a teenager in the 1960s--the minimum wage is stuck in a time warp.

My in-state tuition at UCLA was $82.50 per quarter when I started in 1966.

(No credit to me: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar--then Lew Alcindor and now well-known for lots more than hoops--was at UCLA the same 4 years.)

The min wage is a NATIONAL SHAME. 

 @453ca0c7 $82.50 per quarter?! I can't even begin to imagine.
