Hospital services are up 304% relative to wages since 1977.


Tuition is up 190%. Tobacco 393%.
Meanwhile, toys are down 93%, audio equipment 95%, and software 89%.
Ignoring tobacco, the things that keep you alive keep getting more expensive.
But the things that keep you distracted keep getting cheaper.
That's not just inflation. That's where purchasing power has been disappearing.
