Among all the things mentioned, you have to remember that people need food. You don't necessarily need electronics. So it's in electronics manufacturers best interests to keep the price affordable. And there's probably more competition involved.

Why, then, are people spending $12K on UTV"S - and bitching about food prices.
The "play" sector is where you will get rich - not the "necessity" sector. (FACT)
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

Corn is cheaper now than in the 70's . Come on people hit google before blaming feed costs.All time low cattle numbers has a lot to do with it.
At current grain prices for wheat i have to beat the county average by about 10 bushels to the acre to break even. Yes it can be done but betting against averages generally you lose. ED K The last two years corn was at all time high levels. This year it has dropped to a bit below the long term average. Since I farm I don't have to google prices for grain.

My Brother in law raises a lot of corn and is worried that his yield will be way down due to wind damage during the growing season. Lots of broken off stalks. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Maybe what your son meant was that meat has gone up at a rate faster than normal inflation due to factors such as weather, fuel, feed cost, etc bearing on the market. Yes, there is inflation. The Fed uses different formulas to calculate it now and fuel and food prices (how come?) are not in the equation any more.
