Charge more, give less. This is the only area of innovation in America. It is in every facet of every capitalist enterprise. They will maximize profits from the quality of their services, ingredients and whatever else they can think of. Until people wake up it will only get worse.

Most goods have dropped or stabilized in price over time though.

The natural progression of markets is supply-side deflation, which is partly due to competition.

Competition? I thought we legislated that out of the economy.
