I can see how people might think that, if the dollar falls against the yen, then their Meat-Lover's pizza will become more expensive. And if Pizza Hut raises the price, then all it takes is to admit that "my dollar is buying less" in order to make the connection.

Now, if that Meat-Lover's pizza was made with imported Japanese ingredients, I can see it (is that cost-push inflation? I get mixed-up). Either way, you have to ignore a LOT of factors if you think that way.

Dang --now you tell me!

I wasted all that time presenting the stuff that Siobhan was overlooking, and now I find out that all I needed to do was to simply ignore everything and lo and behold his thesis makes perfect sense.

I swear, this is a fantastic time saver you've come up with.  I say we're really on to something here...
