CPI is shite as it doesn't measure a lot of actual items people purchase.

I'm still trying to figure out how so many people can still afford to eat out all the time. That stretch of restaurants just north of Conroe on 45 stays packed.

Is my family the only suckers who tightened their belts? I mean we're OT rich, but we do ok.

Sweet Jesus, do you poor people ever shut up? God bless the free market and Capitalism. Don't like your economic situation? Work harder and improve it! This is one of the few countries where that can happen. If you stay poor, it is because your are either stupid or lazy....which is it?

Is this the gaslighting where they remove items from this list like food and shelter? That's what they did last time.

Such is "journalism" when a Progressive is president.

I dont think its over by any means, but companies can still charge inflated prices. I dont really blame them as if people were paying for their product or service why bring it back down?

Jesus frick.

The number of people here who don’t understand inflation, how it relates to prices,
that even an inflation rate of zero doesn’t mean price will go down a penny, and how much pain would go with a deflationary cycle……

It’s not even the ignorance that’s appalling. It’s the aggressive opinions based on the assumption they have a clue that’s scary as frick.

Hopefully you understand that it’s never going to be negative, right?

So, slightly below the average of all rates from 1914 to now?
