Also, as noted here my other point was that you need to be investing in assets like BTC, GOLD, as hedges against inflation because this type of behavior will continue for the rest of our existence.

You do realize we have been a deflationary super cycle for the last 40 years?

MILK is MILK, GAS is GAS. These haven't changed, yet why are they 100x their cost from 100 years ago?

Milk is $50 a gallon? Gas is $10 a gallon? Where are you shopping?

If we are going to have a conversation, try to stop being obtuse and exaggeration.

As for the essence of your question, it comes down to supply and demand. There are a ton more people today than in 1939? Thus we utilize a lot more milk...same with gasoline.

Since you want to play it this way, how much did you pay for the computer you are posting on? Did you spend about $25 million because a computer in the 1960s cost $5 million?

How much did a computer cost in the 1930s? How about the smartphone you have? The smart television?

It is easy to slant the conversation to complain that things are more expensive than they were decades ago yet there are a ton of things where this is reverse.

Besides, most things of today are not even comparable products.
