A 2018 report from Pew Research Center defines Millennials as born from 1981-1996, choosing these dates for "key political, economic and social factors", including September 11th terrorist attacks. This range makes Millennials 5-20 years old at the time of the attacks so "old enough to comprehend the historical significance." Pew indicated they'd use 1981-1996 for future publications but would remain open to date recalibration.[34]

It's an average cost. Ounces are a lot more in different parts of the country. In some places they're free.

in '77 most beers had low alcohol content, so ya had to drink like 10 to 12 beers to get the same buzz as a 4 pack of today's IPAs.
and back then it was shitty columbian gold or mexican from some random biker dude who dealt to us HS kids behind the 7-11. nowadays, I'm being handed great weed left and right.

That $2.38 six pack in 1977 would be $10.25 today. And that was probably for some shitty lager.
Also, I personally don't think having access to free, legal, and dank weed is a bad thing.

Dunno 'bout that. In our area basic 2-bed apts. can be as low as 6 to 800 a month. A friend got one for 500. They do get snapped up quickly. Min. wage pulls in about 1320 net per month.
Not luxurious living but a reality for a number of folks around here.

Using the inflation calculator, that comes out to $32.50 today. Still cheaper than Dead & Co. and many other big touring acts, but comparable to some other modern ticket prices.

In '73 The GD had recently become an "arena rock" act, although The NRPS did open that night (3/31).
I don't think you can even get a nosebleed for $32.50 today (NOT including service charges).

Most poor people are so marginalized that they have no chance to complain or whine.
