Adjusted for inflation? Who cares? People's compensation haven't risen enough to even account for inflation so how is that helpful?

It's not. Saying something isn't expensive because its the same price after adjusting for inflation is a slap to the face of millions, perhaps even billions who are effectively making less now than they were ten or twenty years ago after they adjust for inflation.

That phrase is not the silver bullet you seem to think it is.
