A house should only cost 4 cars, and a car should cost 1000 sandwiches

[mcc@mastodon.social]

@donni Unfortunately one way to bring this about is to make sandwiches and cars really expensive

[keithpjolley@discuss.systems]

@donni and a sandwich should only cost ~10 minutes of minimum wage, after taxes.

[renardboy@mastodon.social]

@donni and a sandwich should cost at most 5 bucks

[wannabemystiker@expressional.social]

@donni
That's a lot of bread.

[scroeser@kolektiva.social]

@donni Counterpoint: cities, and even towns, should be designed so that you can live happily without a car. (This would also help with house prices.)

[manic_walrus@mastodon.social]

@donni soooooo sandwiches are gonna be expensive then?

[nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social]

@donni So it's your fault sandwich prices suddenly shot up...

[s_d_brath@mastodon.social]

@donni depending on the house, the car, and the sandwich, that can be true.

I can probably find a somewhat local place that have fancy sandwiches at 100dkk, i can get a fairly nice used car for 100,000dkk and the house I am about to buy (renting it for now) is 350,000dkk. It is in the middle of nowhere and old, but still a house.

The location is why I need the car to get the sandwiches.

@donni Why would you want a sandwich to cost more than 63 Euro?

[5tern1@corteximplant.com]

@donni depending on the car and the house, this might work

[crypticmirror@mstdn.social]

@donni

And a sandwich should be 50p. Maybe 75p for a really fancy one, like they used to be when I was young and had hope.

The real question is "how much should a freddo" be?

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@donni Be careful of what you ask, you could eventually have it. And pay a sandwich a full weekly wage, if you can afford it, that is.

[ggmcbg@mstdn.plus]

@donni

Are the sandwiches the size of 2000 ladybugs?

[barefootliam@floss.social]

@donni how many bananas should a pair of socks cost?

A range rover is about $250,000 here and houses are $800,000 to $1,000000 for the most part, so we have that bit down. But $250 for a sandwich doesn’t work. OK.

So let’s live in a cardboard box under a bridge, zero dollars, and steal a car (zero dollars and comes with free sandwiches for four years).

@CrypticMirror @donni a Freddo should be 10p like nature intended.

@s_d_brath @donni minimum flat costs 20+ minimum cars, which cost 2000+ minimal sandwiches. And a minimal flat basically doesn't exist in many localities around the developed world.

[s_d_brath@mastodon.social]

@goose @donni never claimed my anecdotal example was true everywhere. Anyone living in a city here in Denmark wouldn't be able to get the same for 1000 sandwiches (even though they get ridiculously expensive in Copenhagen).

[jordgubben@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@donni Now I want a national currency pegged on sandwiches.

[ehproque@neopaquita.es]

@donni the car to sandwich factor is roughly correct in London

[goose@fosstodon.org]

iirc, in the 90s you could still very much sell great sandwiches for around $5, get a decent $5000 car, and buy a simple flat for $50,000 outright (using a USD equivalent).

And that's a pricey sandwich!
