I've been noticing everything costing 30% more than it used to, if you can get it.
Sure, we're not experiencing communism levels of lack of goods, but our collective knowledge should be continually bending towards better and better, not worse and worse.
I know it's a temporary decline, and that as far as declines go, things could be much worse. But as far as declines go, we can entertain our stupid short-sighted motivations and prolong a bad situation as FDR, or we can entertain our rational and long-term motivations to propel progress.
Increasingly we're taking the shorter, less sophisticated option.
