I'm thinking even for cases of like shrinkflation.

I saw an article about potentially cheaper RAM here, so it got me curious if things ever really get better on occasion.

it always amazes me how many people buy into the neocon garbage that Carter was a bad president. Dude was a nuclear submariner, helped cleanup a nuclear disaster, built houses with his hands, and his biggest crime to them? he cancelled the B-1 bomber when it became painfully obvious the stealth programs were going to eclipse it's usefulness.

Reagan got elected on treason with iran, and lies about the B-1.

4 years later he was talking about the amount of money the pentagon was spending on 'costumes' as he slid into dementia.

Carter didn't piss and moan, just went on building houses with his hands for 30+ more years.

    Carter was also the last president to treat the American people like adults.

    that's insightful; so much of reaganism was 'let daddy take care of things and don't worry your pretty little head about ww3'.

    I remember reading his malais speech and thinking that the American people were a bunch of babies for trashing him over it.
