Let's think a lot more widely here: how many things in your life suddently got explosively more expensive over a decade. How many of those do you think would have not surged if it wasn't for [insert single thing here]?

It's the same logic people use to suppress minimum wage. But prices keep going up. Almost like that's not as big a factor as we thought.

How many other things in my life suddenly doubled in price within a couple of years? Can't think of any.

I know prices of everything tend to double every 10-20 years, but that's what happens when you double the money supply every 10 years.
