Tide Unveils New Guy Who Will Lick Stains Off You 

Thursday 5:00PM Alert

CINCINNATI—Hailing the product as a major breakthrough in laundry technology, the detergent brand Tide announced Thursday that its top-selling line of household products now includes a guy who comes into your home and licks the stains off you. “We at Tide are proud to introduce Greg, our latest weapon in the war against those pesky spills and splashes,” read a press release that accompanied the product, explaining how Greg’s patented stain-fighting saliva and ultra-absorbent tongue work to obliterate even the toughest, most set-in stains. “Just yell out, ‘Greg!’ and he’ll come on over and get to work. Whether it’s coffee, wine, dirt, or blood, he’ll lick it all up. So the next time you accidentally smear chocolate all over your pants, give Greg a shout!” The press release went on to warn customers that before using Greg, they should test him out on an inconspicuous area of clothing to avoid potential discoloration.

A credible source of information must include:

 

- name of the author

- source of the photo or image

- the date (month, date, year) when it is published

- name of the publication (e.g. The Toronto Star, Times magazine, Sports Illustrated)

 

The Onion publication has none of the above, and therefore fake information 

 

Test on Monday Feb 14, 2022, Valentine's Day.

 Inflation calculator

 https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1945?amount=10

February 4, 2022

- look at your dinner last night: meat, fruit/vegetables, grains – are getting more expensive

- an average family of 4 will have to spend an extra $800 per year on food 

(800/12 = $66 more per month)

- to some families, this is unaffordable: buy the packaged food/dinner – not very nutritious since they are full of preservatives

- check the price of gasoline in Toronto (this morning, regular gas is at $1.57/litre, all time high)

Kwok’s car 60 litres x $1.57 = $94 to fill up

 

Inflation (things get more expensive over time)

- clothing, rent, food, fuel, household items, haircuts

- you are born in 2009 or 2010

- your money, say $100, will buy less over time (in the future)

- use $100 for the calculation

Start Year	This year 2022	How much is worth today
1945 (end of Second World War	2022	$1548.90	It will cost $1548 today to buy the same item
Grandparent’s birth year 1965	2022	$885.09
Parent’s birth year 1979	2022	$384.02
Your birth year 2009 or 2010	2022	$129.96

 

- over time, things get more expensive and your buying power is reduced

 

 

- GTA (Greater Toronto Area, Toronto, Vaughan, Mississauga, Thornhill, Rich Man Hill, Markham, Ajax, Whitby etc) Population in 2021 was about 7.2 million live in the GTA

- the government is projecting that the population in the GTA will go up to 10 million by 2025

- Kwok thinks the housing prices will continue to go up by about 10% per year

- it is possible that the price will not go up as much – BUT there is NO land in the city of Toronto

- inflation story – BE NICE TO YOUR PARENTS so you can inherit their properties
