The original claim: a good truck costs ~ $75k.
My rebuttal: no, you can get it for half of that.
OP refinement: not with a diesel engine

21/ Yes, exactly. If we have 2% inflation, year after year after year, and it goes as high as 2.2% some years, and 1.8% other years, that 2% number is "baked in". Your mortgage is built around it, your investments track that, your raises, etc.https://twitter.com/Bobthewelding1/status/1317212813534912512 …

24/ Indeed. In the 19th century we had deflation more often than inflation....and that was worse than inflation. Modest well managed inflation on fiat currency is MUCH better than deflation on a gold standard, fite me.https://twitter.com/trapc45/status/1317216423245156358 …

26/ No it doesn't. One can compute one's own inflation numbers by looking at prices of things one knows / cares about. It PERHAPS implies that I trust people who live and die by inflation rates to VERIFY government numbers. >>>https://twitter.com/Bobthewelding1/status/1317225508841705477 …

27/ I see lots of arguments about "stealth inflation", and I'm entirely happy to entertain the idea. So ... go ahead. Convince me. Pick a basket of goods X and price it at time Y and at time Z.

28/ I fully agree with the data in this tweet. This is orthogonal to the discussion of whether the government inflation numbers are valid.https://twitter.com/Bobthewelding1/status/1317231388517715969 …

31/ But in this thread we've shown that the price of a 350 has remained the same in real terms, and the quality has gone up. Look at Bob's data in #28 - low and mid class wages are flat WHEN ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION, meaning that inflation hasn't hurt themhttps://twitter.com/braxton_mccoy/status/1317241908696018945?s=19 …
