So "record inflation" does not mean "highest inflation ever"



Once again...you go Full Retard.. Imagine not understanding the difference


Record inflation refers to a notably high rate of inflation during a specific period, often compared to recent history or a particular economic context. It doesn't necessarily mean the highest ever, just significant enough to be noteworthy or record-breaking within a given timeframe or dataset.

Highest inflation ever refers to the absolute peak inflation rate in a country's or region's history, based on available data. For example, in the U.S., the highest inflation ever was around 14.6% in 1980, while "record inflation" might describe a high rate like 9.1% in 2022, which was a 40-year peak but not the all-time high.

Key Difference: Record inflation is relative and context-specific, while highest inflation ever is an absolute historical maximum.

The Fed dropping rates by 50bps was clearly intended to juice markets
The Fed had been preparing the market for a policy change to lower rates for almost a year.

They finally dropped rates in September, 7 weeks before the election.

As the other poster said, if the Fed had wanted to use lower rates to influence the election, they would have waited until October to make their first move.

Seven weeks before an election is an eternity in this day of the 24-hour news cycle.

I realize you always see a conspiracy in everything, but this is a stretch even for your mindless paranoia.

Incorrect once again. This thread is so embarrassing for you. Early Voting started in September. North Carolina was the first to initiate mail-in absentee voting, sending ballots on September 6, 2024.

Imagine not understanding the difference between "Record Inflation" and "Highest Inflation Ever" even after Grok AI breaks it down for you.


Key Difference: Record inflation is relative and context-specific, while highest inflation ever is an absolute historical maximum.

Then why did YOU use the phrase "48 days ahead of a Presidential election " in both of your identical threads with this topic?

That was your description, not mine.

So was the day the Fed lowered rates "48 days before the Presidential election" or not?

Get your story straight, Comrade Snitchkovsky...

Because inflation is below their 2% target if they actually used correct shelter numbers which dropped another 1.2% on new rents

And we know the UE is higher than 4.2 with how they frick with the data. (Jerome.said this)

Rates are very restrictive even if a 1% cut happens. They are behind just like how they should have raised rates earlier when they claimed inflation was transitory

What are you talking about retard? The Fed cut 50bps September 18th... 48 days before the election. You just stated they would have cut in October if they wanted to influence the election. That statement is incorrect since early voting started in September. You better figure out how to tell the difference between "Record Inflation" and "Highest Inflation Ever" before moving on to more complicated matters

But now you're claiming the election was in September because of early voting. So which is it?

Oh, I know what those terms mean.

It's you who is word salading those terms all over the place, Kamala. It's almost as if English is not your native language.

If a basketball player sets a scoring record does that mean he has scored the most points ever or just the most points within a select time frame?

No word salad... Grok AI breaks it down for your retarded arse but you still don't understand. Grok actually used the 2022 Inflation number vs the 1980 number as an example when asked the "difference between Record Inflation and Highest Inflation Ever"


Record inflation refers to a notably high rate of inflation during a specific period, often compared to recent history or a particular economic context. It doesn't necessarily mean the highest ever, just significant enough to be noteworthy or record-breaking within a given timeframe or dataset.

Highest inflation ever refers to the absolute peak inflation rate in a country's or region's history, based on available data. For example, in the U.S., the highest inflation ever was around 14.6% in 1980, while "record inflation" might describe a high rate like 9.1% in 2022, which was a 40-year peak but not the all-time high.

...Implying that it's not currently.

So you're saying the numbers they usually look at, and not just the numbers you want them to look at, indicate inflation to be above the 2% target. That's what I thought.

Link?

I was reading in another thread someone posted that they thought you were intelligent, just misguided. Personally, I'm not seeing it.
