$1 in January of 2018 has the same buying power as...$1.24 in December of 2023. "The price of everything" did not increased 100%, it increased 24%.

That also sucks, and you don't have to lie about it to make your point.

Tell that to all of us paying upwards of 3X as much for many basic goods, including McChickens.

Hot take: a McChicken isn't a basic good.

It is to people who can't afford anything else or cook for themselves. Like the homeless population you claim to care about.
