"the deflation of the late 80s-90s..." (237),

Thanks for the reminder. I remember inflation slowing, but I don't remember prices dropping as the price of gold dropped. What about you?

Well, if the CPI doesn't measure inflation, then maybe inflation doesn't have anything to do with prices.  I think I'm getting another one of my dizzy spells again...

 

Wait a second while I look at the market--                        NO PROBLEM --I FEEL GREAT!!!

Your memory is faulty. Then, again, yall magic formula people have a knack for ignoring minor things like electronics and oil and stuff and whatever you didn't include in your incantation. And cars. The improvement was exponential and the price of the standard minimum sedan remained unchanged for maybe a dozen years and a number of models also electronically sophisticated were sold in quantity at much lower prices.
