TVs are unique in that they continually cost less over time. And that’s including new technology. Most goods are not like that. A dozen eggs costs far more now than it did in 2019.


Already outdated due to massive inflation. But my point - TVs are the worst example here

My point is that CPI is made up of a lot of things. The fact that your grocery bill is up 30% over the last 3 years doesn’t mean that everything is up 30%, but that’s really difficult for some to understand around here.

And like I continue to say, people just completely ignore their net worth growth and their actual income growth over the same time frame.
