Economic Activism and Progressive Living

for quite a long time and first really noticed it around 25 yrs or so. It's not just package size either, it's the size of items themselves and a deflation in 'quality' and 'thickness' too.

It's a slow 'boil the frog' thing that manufacturers hoped consumers wouldn't notice and if they did they'd shrug it off or question their memories.

What really ticks me off the most is that this type of thing hides inflation in very underhanded way and it hurts all consumers but especially those who are barely scrapping by on minimum wage, Soc Sec (Retirement, Disability and SSI), veteran's benefits, etc.

What's rather ironic is that round the same time the above was going on both 'super size' and manufacturing larger size dinnerware gained traction.
