This unbelievably shit take manages to ignore so many important factors:
The number of people who fall below that median of $75k, the fact that he's looking at household vs single income, the fact that two years ago gas was almost half what it is now – so what about that huge impact on people my dude, and that if he removed the efficiency of modern cars from the equation his whole ~~~Everything Is Great~~~ argument collapses.
A minimum wage employee works 40 minutes to pay for a gallon of gas today. The min wage in 1962 was $1.15. One hour of work bought 3.8 gallons of gas.
