    I was running a servo back in the days when servos actually serviced cars in a time of inflation. We stocked all manner of bits 'n bobs that needed regular replacement and the reps would visit weekly and nearly monthly give you a new price list.

    "What another price rise"?

    "Wadda ya complaining about that's the first in three months".

    So my prices were rising regularly, it was insidious, there was no single reason for it. I came to the conclusion that nothing inflates like inflationary expectations. In Aus we have inflation, a sliding $, deindustrialisation simultaneously which should be cause to kick out our gov.
