That means that you can get a good girl with a side of freedom for under $10, and still have enough for a can of soda, a dime candy, and a couple pieces of gum.
Is this properly accounting for the regional pricing differences of “good girls” and “bitches”? Lil Wayne has lived in a sprawling mansion in Miami, but also now lives in New Orleans. Are we just supposed to accept at face value that the costs are fixed across both localities?
Additionally, Kanye appears to be referencing wholesale costs of “bitches” as he’s talking about getting them in quantities of 1000, while Lil Wayne is clearly buying in retail prices at only 12 “bitches” at a time.
There’s too many inconsistencies to determine objective pricing from the data provided.
A cross-sectional study would likely yield some short term answers, but the real work will require a longitudinal study to tease out trends in different regions and possibly even impacts from seasonality to take into account price fluctuations and determine volatility. This is well beyond my resources, but the grant application almost writes itself.
There may be parallels that could be learned from examining the price spike in the prison economy during April 2009.
Possibly, but it may be high risk. I’m certainly no authority on the subject, however Jay-Z, with a net worth of $2.6 Billion ( source ) doesn’t seem to think its worth the risk. .
He told us “I got ninety-nine problems, but a bitch ain’t one”.
You lost yourself at the fact this was a joke just because you went “ooh, Kayne bad”. I don’t like him either but can still see by this to see the joke.
I’d suggest the ‘giant douche/ turd sandwich’ rhetoric had a direct impact on the 2004 and 2016 elections - both of which were ‘lost’ by the Democrats, by razor thin (even a razor that folds over one way but ends up cutting the other way somehow, because fuck the will of the people) margin, and had profound effects on the society of their time. It also staunchly reenforced the apathy and both-sideism we see to this day.
