Inflation is literally the point of the meme. If you didn't realize that, then you're proving your second sentence to be true.
The meme is not saying anything of any substance. It's not showing anything about the cost of living, income, or anything actually interesting. It's just "hur due, inflation. Bygone era, hur dur."
Maybe because it's a meme.
It's a really dumb meme.
