I'll concede that some durable goods are cheaper adjusted for inflation.

But at the end of the day, what has the most impact on socioeconomic mobility and overall success? It's probably not a cheap microwave.

It's access to good schools, health care, and diet. All of the things that are getting more expensive.

Cheaper gas and clothes also have hidden(less so now) costs in pollution and ethical sourcing concerns.

Good point. I'd strongly prefer cheaper healthcare and pricier gasoline to cheap gas and cost-prohibitive healthcare.
