minus-squareDagwoodIII@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13arrow-down1·14 hours agoNope, totally different. Look at the price of Super Bowl tickets. First Bowl tickets were $10.00. This year they were going for $6,000.00 Top luxury car in 1960 was $7,500.00 for a sports car and $35,000.00 for a Rolls or Bentley. Most expensive car today is $30 million. The rich have gotten much, much richer and ‘need’ to spend more so people will notice.
