alright.
let's say..for the sake of argument (HA) and for the sake of...EASE....
we are switching EVERYONE'S currency to dollars.
o.k.. so. The great people in the UK get to switch their pounds to dollars. you make $10 dollars an hour. Bretonbanquet makes 16 pounds an hour for the same exact job. so when he switches his currency to dollars, he only gets 8  poor thing.
anyway. So. you're making 10. he's making 8. all currency is the same . are you with me? we've already converted it.
SO NOW. we pay 3 dollars a gallon for gas. and they still pay 7.20. but you're making ten and he's making 8.
Is this making any sense? is there any part of this you don't get or don't agree with? |
Ok, hate to break it you, but 16 pounds is actually 32 dollars.
Here's an easier way to look at it. Mr. America makes 10 dollars an hour, Mr. Brit also makes 10 dollars an hour, which is 5 pounds. Mr. America (10 /3) can buy 3.3 gallons of gas with his 10 dollars, Mr. Brit (5 / 3.6) can't even buy 2 gallons of gas.
