I was cleaning out an old bookshelf and came across this 2003 Grizzly catalog. Coincidentally, I’d just received a 2023 mailer. I was shocked by the increases in price.
Some highlights:
Standard 14" band saw: $375 vs. $800
Standard 6" jointer: $400 vs. $900
4-piece Bessey K-body clamp set: $150 vs. $350
I know nothing about how inflation works, so I’m not sure whether this tracks with the price of bread or whatever, but it was eye-opening.

Why would I respond to a bunch of vague generalizations about how inflation works written by an LLM that doesn’t even have access to information from the last few years?

Soooo… not the stimulus?
