Example of "Progress/Upgrades" that Just Piss Me OFF!

It just the cost to make it changes, not so much just material, but the overhead over the years is attached to the final product. Manufacturers cost for pay raises, health care for employees, raw materials, etc. Also the suppliers of those raw materials cost have risen for the same reason. I don't believe it's the central banks or the dollar as the standard monetary unit that make us feel the pinch. Just ask the Canadians or other countries about their prices. I agree it seems crazy, but compare what you made in '92 compared with today's rate. Me I'm on SS, so I'm sort of screwed.:)
