Cars are better today then they were 60 years ago. I would not presume that their prices should remain equal.

but an hour of toil from a human in 1950 is an hour of toil from a human in 2000. ultimately we are exchanging toil for toil, and inflation is theft from the global pool of toil.

it's akin to a thief seeing two men exchange potatoes for beans and getting in the middle and taking a fraction of the potatos and beans and running off and eating them without compensating the producers.

Inflation =stealing.
