Except the same money buys less than it did in 1986. Inflation is caused by greed.

is it just me or have kids movies stopped traumatizing kids? as someone who was scared of some movies when i was a kid, i look back on it with nostalgia and i love those movies now (except Happy Feet. that one gave me lifelong thalassophobia and made me scared of orcas)

I mean to fair, even without money, it taught kids about Death in Wartime, which is arguably even more important to learn than just death.
