- CRConrad 5y agoCompared to the purchasing power difference between 1800 and 2021, a dollar buys (almost) exactly as much in 2021 as it did in 2020. ("Almost" in parentheses, because at any reasonable precision, the 20/21 difference will probably round to zero.) When they're big enough, differences of quantity become differences of quality.
