Officials Announce They Put The Decimal In The Wrong Place, Inflation Actually 91%
Babylon Bee
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Labor Secretary Martin J. Walsh spoke with reporters Friday to clarify previous remarks that the rate of inflation had hit 9.1% in June. He explained that his office had accidentally placed the decimal in the wrong place and inflation is actually 91%, the highest it has ever been. He apologized for the error.
"Oops, sorry about that folks. Apologies all around," said Sec Walsh. "My notes had a pretty glaring typo. Inflation is actually 91%. Wow, yeah — that's pretty high. That's, like, the highest it's ever been in recorded history, I think. I will not be taking any questions."
According to sources, an intern with no experience had prepared the talking points for Walsh previously, which led to the error. Walsh did not first review the data before speaking because he also knows nothing about the economy or even what money is.
The announcement was met with sighs of relief from the upper class of society who will not be affected by this news in any meaningful way.

Yes, because this Babylon Bee article isn't funny or clever, I am an obvious big time Lib.

Covid saved the Dems from the complete debacle/embarrassment of the Iowa Caucus where they couldn’t even count their own caucusers or provide a winner on caucus night

Factoring in fuel and rent, that isn’t far off

What they did to Tulsi Gabbard is criminal

Damn sure feels like 91%. Have you been to the pump, grocery store, or paid your electricity bill lately?

Feels more like 350%

I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place. I always mess up some mundane detail

The Bee often suffers from a lack of nuance, and it makes their stuff less funny. Be a bit more clever, guys.
