  1. Yeah. Inflation is the rate at which prices increase. Lower inflation means prices increase slower. Deflation means prices go down.

  2. ​ @ngwoo Deflation means lower prices. Inflation means higher prices.

  3. Of course it's not the same people. People who want less government regulation also want less restriction on what can be put in food, and don't want any laws prohibiting skimpflation or shrinkflation.

  4. CADR is not an airflow metric. It is airflow multiplied by the fraction of air output which is clean. Although, I'm not sure how well they tested it in the video because I haven't seen it yet.

  5. Selling smaller products isn't deception unless you lie about the size. Selling products with cheaper ingredients is not deception unless you lie about the ingredients.

  6. 10:40 Low inflation means prices rise slower, not prices go down. Deflation means prices go down.

  7. Shrinkflation isn't really a problem. The alternative is raising prices.

  8. No-one's being lied to. When companies change ingredients, they also change the ingredients list. When they change the weight, they put the new weight on the packaging.

  9. ​ @maluminse6013 That would be like saying a $2 50W lightbulb will be as bright as a $20 50W lightbulb. That's not the case, because the $20 one is an LED, so more of the energy actually goes to lighting the room and less is wasted, so it will be brighter with the same power. The same probably applies for heaters.

  10. ​ @alexphoenix9208 Bribery is giving money or gifts to government officials to convince them to do something. Lobbying is talking to government officials to convince them to do something. Completely different. When you write an e-mail to your representative, you're lobbying him.
