    This really wasn’t that long ago. That was 10 or 20 years ago I think (can’t remember which because I’m old and time is compressed for me), but I can remember when you could get ultra basic breakfast, granted in not very classy places.

    Actually no, I might be remembering 30 years ago. Sitting in a bowling alley in the 90s, that served food. Little paper placemats with right-angled celtic knot patterns all around the edge. Silverware wrapped up tight in a napkin.

    That kind of place would have a basic breakfast for about a dollar.

    Seems like prices shouldn’t have risen as much as they have in just that short a time.
