Ever wonder why they stopped putting $ signs and pricing in the backgrounds of movies in the 90's?
Because, when you see that "dozen donuts for $1.99" sign in the film, the worker is still making about the same amount of money/hr. It's depressing and presents the cold hard facts that the nation is ill, inflation is real, and our labor devalued.
Film influences heavily the bottom half of IQ/Income & top of EQ.
Older gens were sold on trickle down economics but only piss fell to future gens.
@Appleseed Do you have a source for this? Be interested to read it.
@SaltyVeruca perhaps an idea to toss to a Ph.D candidate in film study, bit of a waste of time otherwise.
@Appleseed just curious to see the connection if anyone has cited it. Thanks.
