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. paid 500 for a dell that would have gone for 3000 10 years ago (if I could have found one at that speed If inflation was truly 0 this computer should cost $100. Don't confuse human progress and productivity with deflation. (model T ford went down in price from $800 to less than $100 between 1909 and 1914 due to efficiency in manufacturing). On the other hand I recently bot an airline ticket from cal. to ny and paid 179 round trip. You paid the price that does not cover the cost, that is why most airlines lose money. Unless you flew an airline with $50K a year pilots and no meals as opposed to $200K/year pilots and full service.
