TV's, Software, and Toys are cheaper, and notably the only categories cheaper on that chart from BLS. Well, it looks like this is good at keeping rioting off the streets; everyone is too distracted consuming tech.

I would pay good money to test this hypothesis. I don't think its as simple as consuming tech though. I wonder how much effect cannabis legalization, opiod use etc. have on keeping a restive population dormant.

Huxley or Orwell.
