I see you bought into the myth. Please go read some history. Especially I suggest you get old magazines from that era. What you will find is not what you expect.

I see you bought into the myth.

I'm telling you how it is. This is an actual case. As for inflation, generally, over the past 40-50 years, you don't need to go back any further than the late 1960s. Look at the prices of items similar to today - then. The difference is what - a factor of 6, 10, more, in just 30 years? That's all I'm saying to you. If the rest of business had gone the way of microfab, as they keep saying, a car that cost $3000 in '68 would cost pennies, today. And soap, eggs, butter, etc., they'd have to give away. Instead, other businesses seem to have taken almost an inversely proportionally direction.
