But inflation figures are used in wage negotiations and to set pensions and benefits so should we ge including non essentials that may distort figures? For example, tech often drops in price as it becomes more widely available so might it make inflation look lower than it is on essentials?
I think again, if people were only paid a wage or pension sufficient to buy essentials and no more, I'd agree. Does tech always get cheaper, or does some tech improve and keep prices steady or increasing?
