A simple gauge for inflation: this sewing thread I found cost $0.20 in the mid-70s. Today, it’s $5.98 on Amazon. That’s a 2,890% increase. https://image.nostr.build/878f243e9379ff8194a8fc0035c81d7111710783b3f3c6cfa85c9112b4b5acf4.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b1a8d968f4dbe66097d51a40832fbe2de2f95ce17286e903a530d4e71b51f6a3.jpg https://image.nostr.build/6559d583b7a038ec89a154f507631cc1cf8aaacdfea52cfcdab4fd68f03aa407.png
