A lot of folks are posting that understanding on these threads and I'm having a hard time seeing enough of an actual general increase in prices of goods'n'services to justify the idea. We do hear folks saying that the dollar shows hyper inflation, but in the meantime I've got to work in markets being hit time to time by deflation.

Marketing does change as it should, but you and I can simply talk prices on sizes that don't change --like how big's a gallon or how long a day is.

That may be saying more about the 'morpher' than whatever is getting morphed. For some reason or other the U.S. has gotten taken over by folks who care more about commemorating the anniversary of one person dying in 1965 for civil rights in Selma than remembering the 680,000 who died in 1865 in Gettysburg for the survival of the nation.
OK, so it's 51,000 who died in 1863 in Gettysburg, but you follow my point.
