Aka not fixed. If a boat is leaking, lessening the leak isn't fixing it, it's a patch job that will eventually implode. Obviously inflation will occur, but it's comical to me people want to say "it's fixed" when it's gone from nuclear level shite to horrendous shite.

PCE price index was 2.6% in December. The fed’s target is ~2%.


We are pretty close to what inflation is “supposed to be”.

Are you expecting or desiring deflation?

It’s almost there, and as I mentioned, it’s trending the right way. Wages are helping everyone with milder inflation. 3.3% isn’t horrendous.
