Wanna know how i know inflation, cost of living increases, supply chain bottle necks and price increases are all a bunch of fuckin bullshit? Im still paying the same price for an 8th or Oz of weed as I was paying 15-20 years ago in highschool. The last samurai of the lost world of privately owned businesses before corpo whores ruined the world is you friendly neighborhood drug dealers. Lol

Does the quality differ? I think it makes a great discussion and maybe a good analogue of current economic state of affairs

I have paid roughly the same price for 3.5grams of cannabis since 1992. The quality has vastly improved but the price remains the same. That does not suggest that inflation is bullshit.
If you want to learn micro or need a refresher here's a link to MIT's intro micro which is excellent:

Do you live somewhere where it's still illegal or something? Because I used to pay like $40-60 for an eighth depending on how good it was before legalization and now I can pay like $6 for an eighth of mids or $15-20 for some good shit.
No I im in a place where it is legal. I paid $45-60 for high grade in the 1990s in NJ and that’s the same price it is now. The higher grade stuff just got consistently better.

Did microsoft really already forget about Doom The Dark Ages?
Thought it said Outer Wilds 2 for a split second and got excited.
From what I've heard of the plot of that game, this is kind of apropos.
And I will be skipping it.
It literally took 30 years for the most expensive games to go up by $10.
Audacious, if nothing else.
Charge $80 fine but no dlss crap , native ONLY , optimized ONLY , run like DOOM
oh so now its 80 where the prices are. at this rate it will be 200 within couple of years.
