What is?

Damn you're sensitive...I think my 8yo daughter is emotionally tougher than you

Sign her up here. We’ll see if she can walk the walk while you talk the talk.
Is she better at math than you?

Sorry I hurt your feelings. Maybe your caretaker can give you a cookie?

Ok, since Rob is being a coward I will answer.

Time is not a factor in my question. Not now, not 1978, not on Dec. 7th 1941. Here is why.

In 1941 $100 was more than $5
In 1978 $100 was more than $5
In 2022 $100 IS more than $5

Aweee him upset now

Wow, idiot, I never said third either and that shit went right over your head. I went from 2nd to 5th on purpose. I also 100% talked about an expense (gas) without using math. Literally did it and you say no lol.

Please tell me why you are unable to answer the question is $100 more than $5 with the information I just gave you.

Ahhh, more of that comical writing of yours.
Quite the wordsmith! Third is implied even though you didn’t say “third”. Welcome to English.
$100 in 2022 is worth more than $5 in 2022.

Now answer my question: Which cost more, a car purchased for $10,000 in 2016, or one purchased for $11,600 in 2022?

You’re the one throwing tantrums. Are you sad at being wrong so often?
You could always try to better yourself with some education. It might help you succeed.

It's not implied, it's a joke you brainless robot.

Here is the MY answer to your car question. My answer is, IT DOESN'T MATTER. If I was buying a car in 2016 I would be comparing the cost of that car to the cost of other cars IN 2016!!! I wouldn't be trying to brainfuck myself by trying to figure out what that car would cost in 2022 if the year was 2016. This is why your riddle doesn't matter. If I was buying a car then I am not trying to predict the future and if I am buying it now I am not comparing it to the past as the past has already happened and I am not living in the past. Good enough? Because that is my answer and that is all you will get from me about your time travel riddle. You are welcome.

And what value does that question have? Do you just feel like typing words and hope a rhetorical question makes you seem intelligent?
If so, it backfired.

So then why the fvck are you complaining about the price of gas now versus the price a year or two or five ago?
You are buying gas NOW, not one, two, or five years ago.
YOUR words regarding price comparison over time: “I am buying it now I am not comparing it to the past as the past has already happened and I am not living in the past”

If you’re not living in the past, then shut your maw about the price of gas. Live in the TODAY and pay what it costs TODAY. The past is done and you’re not there.
WALK THE WALK

Looks like you painted yourself into a corner again.

Ok, you ask for it.

Because you set specific prices for the cars I can say with 100% certainty that the car in 2022 cost more. Because you have already set these prices you cannot now go back and do what you wanted to do which was try to dazzle us with inflation numbers and time travel. The prices are set, you cannot change them. The 2022 car cost more because with the information given, $11,600 IS more than $10,000. You have failed. Do not attempt a backpedal or recovery with wordplay or misdirection or anything from your playbook. You should have been specific. Dummy.

I guess you are confused. Why would I complain about the price of gas in the past... isn't the current price the relevant price to complain about? I am complaining about current gas prices COMPARED to past gas prices. I am not complaining about the prices of both. The complaints were because the guy you helped steal the White House wants credit for lowering the price of gas that he and you and others like you claim he had no control over making spike high as hell in price from day one of his presidential theft.

I never said the answer. I asked you for it. What’s to backpedal on?

But, here’s the correct answer: To get the same value of that 2016 $10,000 you would have to spend $11,617 today. So if you got it for $11,600 today you’d have spent less.
Sorry, but you were wrong.
Math.

See, We ALL knew this was you plan, you goal, your end game. It's wrong because you set the prices. Once they were set, you set yourself up for failure. So you failed. You don't need to play these dumb games Rob. Just say what you mean and stop trying to prove something. You could have just saved time, included what we ALL knew you were going to do which was to keep talking about inflated numbers and cost vs/over time. Do us all a favor and just get to the damn point next time.

“I am complaining about current gas prices COMPARED to past gas prices.”

I thought you said you didn’t give a fvck about what prices were in the past and that time is not relevant to pricing?

You painted yourself into a corner because you argued math concepts you do not understand: The value of a dollar adjusted for time.
