Knowing I have to pay the taxes on that shit, I'll take the dinette set.
As a kid i was terrible at guessing the prices because im Canadian and didn’t know about exchange rates, and also as a child i had no concept of what a car or a dishwasher cost

This meme and variations of it pop up all the time, and sure, there's a 'haha' there. But it's doing some kind of whitewashing of REAL economic struggles of our generation, and I'm not sure how to feel about it.
It's more about laughing to ease the pain. For sure the cost of living has gotten way out of hand. But having a bit of fun about a shared bad time makes going through said bad time a bit easier.
