I grew up believing an honest hour’s work should buy an honest meal. In the late 1980s, the federal minimum was $3.35 an hour. When the wage went up to $3.75 in 1990, a Big Mac meal back then—burger, medium fries, medium Coke—ran about $3.50 to $4.00 before tax. One hour of work, maybe 50 minutes, and those at that pay level walked out full with change in their pocket.
My mother used to tell me that a penny in the 1930s bought enough candy to satisfy her. A nickel made her sick. Today, pennies are trash. Three generations of savings quietly stolen while Washington spent money it never earned.
There’s a fix, and it’s right in front of us.
Inflation collapses toward zero. A Big Mac stops being a luxury. Savings grow again instead of disappearing. The kid flipping burgers in 2030 earns five meals an hour again, just like those did in 1988.
I’m the guy who keeps begging President Trump to bring back 16-inch battleships (Thunderbolt-class, naturally) to remind rogue dictators there are still consequences. But the bigger war is right here at home. The dollar is the battlefield, and working Americans are losing.
Fix the money at home with one big rule—Bitcoin’s rule.
Give us back the five-meal hour.
Give us a dollar that works as hard as we do.
Then watch America eat, save, and roar again.
