Recorded with Kelly Lannan this afternoon about the state of the real estate market, urban planning, the maintenance debt that exists throughout the US, and a bunch of other stuff.

One part of the conversation really drove home the pernicious aspect of shrinkflation.

People are paying 20% more to get 60% of a good or service. We all know that CPI is a bunk manipulated metric, but the manipulation is particularly cruel when you begin to factor in shrinkflation not being accounted for.

Shrinkflation being the Mars Bars getting smaller, right?

FYI, I think the default size today is 45g, down from 60g back in the day 😂
