It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

My dad bought his house for $650 in 1976, had it moved from the mill village where it was for $2000 and has lived in it on land he was given for 50 years. Its current value is over $225k.

He offered to sell me a quarter acre for $50k.

Fyi $650 in 1976 is about $3600-3700 adjusted for inflation.
