Inflation is a distortion of the unit of measurement.

As an example:

In 2014, the tape measure says you’re 6 feet tall.

In 2024, the tape measure says you’re 12 feet tall.

But your physical height hasn’t changed. It’s the units on the tape measure that have changed.

Because of inflation, there are now twice as many inches in a foot and twice as many feet in a yard.

One foot = 24 inches

One yard = 6 feet

You’re not physically taller, the tape measure is distorted.
