The Breakfast Club (Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson) | The Great Escape | Extended Preview

[@nettiegurl]

Vernon's bullying speech here is the most iconic of bullying tactics I remember sordidly from a few teachers against a few rebellious, otherwise bright students who rightly went against the system for misjudging otherwise keen intelligent character

[@georgehenderson7783]

"I make $31,000 a year" That was enough to live on back then. I wonder if most high school principals think their salaries are enough to live on now...

[@black1jack3]

Principals usually make pretty good still

[@black1jack3]

At least in California. Teachers are the real ones struggling

[@talkingstraightwithnate]

I looked it up that would be roughly $87,400 today. I think someone should make a "what if Bender hit Vernon" video

[@markelijio6012]

@@talkingstraightwithnate It looks like Bender didn't hit Vernon, but Vernon gives Bender one last chance to change his attitude or else he's gonna be for looking a whole lot more trouble than he bargained for.

GREAT MOVIE I LOVE IT IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT I SUGGEST U GIVE IT A WATCH REALLY 👍👍

Today, the principal's actions would have been captured by a cell phone, gone viral, and he would have been history.

$31,000 a year and home... just remember that wages have been stagnant since the 80s and $31,000 a year will never be enough to buy a house today.

[@professorwiggins3290]

Wages haven't gone up since the 80s??? Not sure what rock you've been living under.

[@--..-...-..-.--....]

@@professorwiggins3290 they've slowly been going up in certain places. Where have you been? Also, inflation isn't helping either

[@professorwiggins3290]

@--..-...-..-.--.... Wages have not been stagnant since the 1980s. For example, from 2000 to 2022, average US family income doubled from $39,000 to $78,000. Over that same period of time, the inflation calculator shows it took $1.70 in 2022 to equal the value of $1.00 in 2000. In other words, on average, income increase beat inflation by 30%. There are temporary ups and downs, of course, and inflation has been rising in the last few years due to government responses to the pandemic and some ridiculous fiscal and monetary policy. But still, we're still better off than we were years ago. It's tiresome seeing young people with cell phones, cars, computers, big screen TVs, places to live with climate control, plenty of fashionable clothing and so much food available that the diet industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise cry about how tough they have it. I call total BS.

Great viewing.... If you haven't seen it do .... Always makes me laugh even now in 2024

[@brendapowers9714]

Love the movie

[@Y_hass]

$31,000 salary in 1985 is equivalent to $90,000 in 2024. But then again, homes in Chicago were about $70,000 in 1985.

Why did it have to have censorship in it? I love it uncut because it is more fun to watch that way.

He's boasting he makes $31,000 and he works in education. Nowadays teachers make more and don't boast about their income. They are considered underpaid for the most part. My time has changed things.

[@DanielFahimi]

You have to also take into account that this movie was made, prices weren't as inflated. If I'm not mistaken, a house would cost $50,000. So you could by a house with only two years of work with that money.

[@BudSchnelker]

My father was a teacher from 1966 to 1997. The first year he made more than $20K was 1982. So $31K wasn't bad three years later. But let's be honest, it's extremely rare to find a teacher who's actually underpaid.

[@soonersciencenerd383]

@@DanielFahimi school WAS decent, books were fine, teaching was a good job to consider, bullying was not that bad (it was bad for the nerds).

​@@DanielFahimi In 1985 $50,000 dollars would be a down payment for a house.

@@289cobra9 my bad lol, but my point about $30,000 being worth a lot more still stands.

I thought he was so cool 😂 loved the Westies , back in the day . He was just a troubled teen . ❤ Teacher's were morons back in the day . What a jerk the teacher . You can see he was beat up at home . Moral too the story .

[@Julieber1]

Someone in the position of Vince today would be making between $78,000 to $120,000 easily per year with Fringe benefits. You’re not looking at the full picture you’re forgetting adjusted inflation for today.
