    Falling prices becoming more common over time

    The falling prices have a little something to do with the one-off event of the dismantling of communism and its replacement with capitalist systems.

    Communism as active non-capitalist economic policy only exists in 2 small nations now, so it can hardly be expected to be a major factor over the next 50 years.

    You have to pity the kind of people who buy into conspiracy theories. I find the following to be the saddest words on the internet: "Re: connection between Bilderberg puppet lady gaga and viral outbreak in ukraine "
