### Comment:
Its ok to inflation adjust; it puts data in a standardized/comparable format. Not inflation adjusting data compared side by side is confusing as it compares apples to oranges.

### REPLY:
there's no way to adjust for inflation without basing it on other goods that are constantly fluctuating in value, so it's still apples to oranges but with the added twist of being inaccurate to the actual historical numbers
