LOL!

why don't you tell that to forbes, the economist, yahoo finance, advisor perspectives, and many, many more.

apparently they do believe the big mac index can show us a thing or two about inflation.

go on and tell us how you're smarter than ALL of those institutions combined, sparky!

LOL!

Oh what a hoot!! You didn't even bother to look at any of those did you?

They all say you are full of shit, that the difference between a turd and you is that the turd has less shit in him.

Big Mac adjusted for inflation? LOLOLOLOLOL

Go ahead, show me where inflation is a component of figuring the Big Mac Index and I will eat my own words.

We all know that aint gonna happen and that you will leave yourself to twist in the wind as you have so many times.

What would that say about inflation?

McDonalds are the NWO?

my claim:

the big mac index can show us about inflation.

the completely different claim that i never made which you want me to prove:

show me where inflation is a component of figuring the Big Mac Index
it's insulting how stupid you think some people are. it's glaringly obvious that you're trying to change the goal posts from what you originally claimed.

Food, energy and housing.

Basically everything you need to live on is excluded.
that's why the big mac index is instructive.

the price of a big mac is a direct indication of housing (every franchise is a rented/purchased physical location), energy (fuel costs in transporting materials, energy costs in running physical location), and food (kind of a big part of producing a big mac).

so there ya go.

If were gonna talk hypotheticals, if our education system wasn't set up to churn out worker bees instead of free thinkers, we wouldn't need a minimum wage

Inflation has nothing to do with the Big Mac index as you claimed.

The Big Mac index shows purchasing power of one currency compared to another, not inflation.

You keep claiming it has something to do with inflation, yet cannot prove it. I claim it is about currency valuation and proved it. You ignore proof in your fantasy world where you just cannot accept being dead wrong.

Just accept you were WRONG and move on. To keep arguing your point is only going to make you look like a complete douche.


The price of a Big Mac in Ukraine is $2.11 in the USA it is $4.60.

What is the inflation rate of the USA?

What? You can't figure the inflation rate out by using the big mac index?

Exactly.


BTW I never claimed that the Big Mac index was part of the inflation figures, so its not a claim, it was a question as evidenced by the little "?".

I assume you know that sentences ending with "?" are not statements. Yes?

Holy Shit. I haven't eaten FFs in decades. I had no idea a Big Mac costs that much, so I checked, Yep, average price is $4.20. It should be $10, so people would find healthier alternatives

Prussian model of public schools. Set up to make OBEDIENT soldiers and mill workers. That model is the basis of the American Public school system, brought over to Massachusetts i in the mid 1800s.

We don't need a minimum wage, we need a free market, not the one that presently exists.

Our free market is completely manipulated by the banks and financial centers. The fact that 147 companies control 70% of the worlds business is an astounding fact. In a free market, the collusion of banks to manipulate the LIBOR rate to the tune of TRILLIONS of illegal profits seems to pass right over most people's heads. Not one bank has been indicted.

What happened to the $700 Billion in TARP money? No one knows for sure since the FED won't release that information. They are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act, because they are not a government agency.

We are $7 trillion more in debt and not one bit closer to a recovery than we were in 2008. All the statistics are meaningless because they do not reflect reality at all. A pack of lies is what our market has turned into. And our country has turned into a bunch of childish apologists who are more than happy to go along with it all as long as they get their Obama phones, Honey Boo Boo, and big macs.

the previous claim:




the new claim:



anyone with reading compensation abilities and a decent short term memory can see that you changed goal posts.
Your BMI is a joke about currenc exchange, not inflation. Inflation is a component in currency exchange, not the driving force. Why not talk about organic gardening, others seem to think you are good at that. If you have questions about your honors Econ high school course, ask. Don't act so proud. You should strive to get the best grade you can. Also ignore those bullies in school. They're just jealous of your spelling skills. Gambare!

you're flapping my wings like my chickens after a dirtbath at this point, but the damage has been done already.

you claimed it could show us nothing about inflation, i cited articles from credible economic publications that proved otherwise, you changed your claim entirely, i cited your evolving claims, and now you are just flapping your stupid wings.

you are a fucking buffoon.
