"paid 1.67 a lb for bonless chicken thighs last week. last year I had to pay 2.99 or

This was probably a cut of meat that was on the verge of expiration.
A Perdue roasting chicken is $9 now vs $5."

um no available all week, unlimited supplys. No what? I can get a cup of coffee and a donut (just as good as DD) for 99 cents. whats the point? prices for me have dropped.

"If inflation was truly 0 this computer should cost $100.
Don't confuse human progress and productivity with deflation.
"

I'm not. I paid 500 to accomplish some job that I used to pay 3000 for. Dont confuse productivity with MY inflation.

"You paid the price that does not cover the cost, that is why most airlines lose money."

I see, you want to measure inflation by the PROFITABILITY of companies not by how much it costs me to pay for things. Thats certianly different.
