Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely]

Hyperinflation like the United States has never seen drives the prices of goods and services up 90%. The $100 tacos now cost $1000. You may still choose to purchase them, however:

90% of $100 is $90. So the tacos are $190, or $1.90 each. Still a solid deal.

I mean to say that the tacos were $100 (wish granted) but the economy then inflated and changed all the prices. Still, the tacos are available and we still live in a society that uses dollars so it could be worse.

No backsies, genie! You stated the terms and I’m gorging myself on sub-$2 tacos.
