if you don't like the "big mac index", take it up with the economist. it is their idea, not mine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

The Big Mac Index is published by The Economist as an informal way of measuring the purchasing power parity (PPP) between two currencies and provides a test of the extent to which market exchange rates result in goods costing the same in different countries. It "seeks to make exchange-rate theory a bit more digestible".
The index takes its name from the Big Mac, a hamburger sold at McDonald's restaurants.

The big mac index has zero to do with inflation. Your own argument says that inflation adjusted the big mac costs less than it did 13 years ago. The big mac index has to do with currency valuations, like a FOREX market that gives the relative value of the currency through a simple method of using the big mac. They aren't even sort of the same thing.

The big mac index has zero to do with inflation. Your own argument, defeated, by yourself.

are you claiming that the big mac index can show us nothing about inflation?

Minimum wage doesn't work. Unless capitalism is destroyed, the best you can do is destroy the middle class with Keyesian manipulation if you even try to make minimum wage work. Manipulating wage has always been a slight of hand to get other laws passed which eventually collapse the economy.

 

[UncleBuck]

I'm claiming you to be a moron.

and you base this on what? your complete inability to rebut anything i've had to say? your propensity to run away from positions you once espoused just because you refuse to repeat them in this thread?

history doesn't start anew with each thread, ya know.

 

[UncleBuck]

the only "fucking idiot" is the wannabe married to the thing in my sig!

that's some convincing evidence for your claims there.

 

[echelon1k1]

dodge it all you want, have them delete it, doesn't change a thing... People here know.

I know...You've always been a moron.

 

[UncleBuck]

I know...You've always been a moron.

at least i stand behind what i say, unlike you, who pretends that things he has said in the past just vanished because we're in a new thread.

I'm going to pretend you vanished.

 

[echelon1k1]

i stand by my words and offer to meet any of these people in person.

Thank for clarifying that... Why didn't you meet up with SirGreenThumb again?

Those who don't understand why minimum wage will always fail its goal need to study Engel's Law.

 

[UncleBuck]

I'm going to pretend you vanished.

just like you're gonna pretend that your statements and 'likes' about min wage making burgers and fries ridiculously expensive just vanished!

[Nutes and Nugs]

• yet another topical, relevant, and valuable contribution to a thread.

Buck was missing his econ requirement for his degree, too.

No inflation mentioned... It compares different currencies.

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!
