    For me it’s $5.59 for one today… let’s play with this…

    Let’s say this was 1969. $0.39 adjusted to 2024 dollars is $3.32 according to CPI.

    At $0.39, and a minimum wage of $1.30/hr, that earns you 3.33 whoppers per hour.

    At $5.59, and a minimum wage of $7.25/hr, that earns you 1.3 whoppers per hour.

    If minimum wage kept in line with the cost of the whopper it would be $18.63/hr
