Massively cheaper: Technology like software, computers, big hd televisions.
More or less same: Material consumer products like furniture or clothing
More expensive: Food and Housing
Massively more expensive: Services like childcare, college, hospital services

The launch price of the iPhone 6S in 2015 was $650. Inflation-adjusted that had the buying power of $885.01 today. And 10 years later now the new iPhone 17 costs only $799 (exactly the same price price as the iPhone 12 five years ago).

For the “POWERFUL HEX SPELL,” I had to provide Kirk’s date of birth for “accuracy.” The witch performed the hex, but her response was unsettling: “I just completed your spell, and it was successful. You will see the first results within 2–3 weeks. However, I did notice disturbances… negative energy not only from you, but projected at you. Likely from toxic family members, co-workers, or new acquaintances.”
On X they post pictures from him as a kid with lots of guns and his conservative mormon family. The internet fried his brain but I can't say if in the antifa or far-right direction....
