You bring up a good point about the effects of inflation.
Between June 2020 and June 2024, inflation as calculated by the BLS was about 22%. So if you deflate today’s prices at that rate, they look a little less ludicrous.
Of course, that’s just the inflation rate here in the US. For radical Canadians, it might be higher.
