Of course I know that. I just didn't dive into that topic given its political nature which is against the rules here and my own aversion to politics. It was mostly a reply to back fenwick saying it was unfair to compare the cost of a truck back in 2001 to today given inflation.
The topic of the purchasing power of the average American decreasing due to stagnant wages making products which prices have kept up with inflation more expensive is another subject and can easily fall into the political debate which is not allowed on the forums hence my avoidance of that connected topic.
