Right, but imagine that with cars not TVs. To show the cost change of a car from 2000 to 2020 I wouldn't show the cost of a 2000-quality car in 2020. I'd show the actual median cost of a car in 2020.
- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoIt's more complicated for cars, because you often can't get a 2000s-quality car even if you want to. There just aren't any cars on the market today with the size and (lack of) features my current car has; whenever I need a new one, I'll have to either buy another ancient car from the 2000s or pay more for extra features and dimensions I don't need. With TVs, though, Best Buy sells 2000s-quality TVs for like 60 bucks. I don't think it makes sense to say that TVs haven't really decreased in price just because most people would prefer to buy the fancier ones.
