Sunjammer99, but is that just not inflation in general? Also, hypothetically over the last half century (or more) we have had an incredible quality of life increase as well as where items, products and lifestyles of back then the few are now viewed as necessary and accessible by the many? What if the dramatic price is the answer and that items actually do once again become unobtainable by the many.... Akin to the lords of manor estates eras.
The low item prices have fuelled the movement of wealth in return for items that then lose value when owned, if we're slowly going to "run out" of certain commodities then it's only natural their price increases.
If those price increases reduce the number of people who can obtain it.... Then I just think looking across history, apart from in relatively recent times, that's never been possible.
Through on top the current political climate and well... Makes it all nervous to consider IMO
