    No one wants to see the same questions asked to different randos.
    Write different questions for each set of contestants.
    This would only work the way it is designed if the contestants were all known by the viewers.

      Milk was 69 cents a gallon in Muncie Indiana right before Covid pandemic. Several grocery stores were in fierce competition for months after Aldi rebuilt and Fresh Thyme moved into town along with Kroger buying up two existing stores. Add Walmart and Meijer and we got good deals for awhile. Eggs were 39¢ a dozen.
      Not anymore. Things went back up during Covid and really went up after Covid stimulus. How many people would give Thier stimulus checks back if prices were back to pre Covid levels?

      @@googleuser868 That's a good question. I wonder how many would trade their check for a price rewind. Hindsight is always 20/20.

    Actually the computer was not the only deflated prices. The way inflation is calculated is wrong by STATS. To properly calculate inflation one must also compare minimum wage and wage segments by type of work and the products that certain classes of people buy that other people can not.
    Example in 1984 milk at $1.94 and today at $4.00 but the reality is that wages today are more than double what they were back in 1984 thus the price of milk has gone down in relation to earnings. Just the opposite of where real inflation is when you compare Rental rates as well as the cost of vehicles as they rose faster than wages during the forty years.
