    Assuming this was around 1994, and adjusting for inflation, it should still be under $2.

        The supply chain presumably cost something in the first pic too. The prices of those things should have also gone up according to inflation. So wouldn’t they also be included in the “inflation adjusted” figure? It’s not like they were calculating what it cost without needing a supply chain.

        In fact, I would think that if anything, the overall price of supply chains would have decreased as technology got better (better fuel, better gas mileage, better routes, better forms of transportation, better computer models to predict outcomes, etc).
