The costs of hunkerin'

Forget self-immolation. Back in the 50's, college students protested what really mattered: the lack of seats on campus. Taking direction from Gandhi himself, they chose to suffer seat-deficiency in a manner for all the world to see, hunkerin'.



In case you're wondering "Anthony, I want to do my part to battle hypo-furniture, but can I afford to hunker in today's inflated economy?????"

Your concern is valid. I've done the legwork for you and, in order to have a Chili Dog-Long and hunker in protest out front a malt shop, it will cost you (in 2008 dollars) about $2.23 using the Consumer Price Index (but $9.16 using the relative share of GDP indicator, WHOA!).
