Well I don’t know about the rest of you but that is the most convincing argument I’ve ever seen. Thank you for changing my mind on things, comrade.

But I like the 245 guys use of the real percentages and calculation break down because it shows that even though it was down .5% in 2022, it was only .1 lbs difference because of the compounding effect.
It helps give a visual illustration on how they can make something complicated to the average American in order to report something that looks better than it really is.

Look at what the popular vote has been voting for- whichever candidate promises less work and more of something else they don’t have to work for. And if you don’t want that for society, you’re racist.

inflation is down but even down, 4.3% is higher than almost any year since the mid 80s.
Prices never go down. Simple as that. The rate is down from the peak but still higher than almost any year over year rate in the last 35 years.
Prices remain high and they always will. Trump could give free oil to everyone and Prices wouldn't come down but the inflation rate would. Wait, no it wouldn't because people would have extra money to spend which would lead to inflation.

Eh... it's no different than "budget cuts" with congress... they don't actually generally cut anything... they reduce the rate of increase and then get slammed for "cutting the budget".
Bingo.
Department of Redundancy Department 2024 budget = $10B
Requested 2025 Budget: $20B
2025 Budget for Dept. of Redundancy Department approved by Congress: $15B
Net increase year over year: 50%, yet they scream about their budget being cut by 25% when compared to how much they asked for.

George Carlin was spot on in saying: "Take a look at the average person and you'll notice how stupid they are. Now think about it for a moment... half the people that exist are dumber than them!"

Inflation is the rate at which prices for goods and services rise.
Hence, inflation is down if it was at 20% and is now at 10%

They don’t report it the way you want them to because it would be nonsensical.
The inflation metric is already a rate of change metric.

If this happens, I hope you fricking starve because you can’t get food. It might teach you the error of your thinking.

Not a jackass, just know how economics work. You won’t have the money or a job to pay for cheaper groceries in a deflationary cycle. I’m not trying to teach Econ 101 today, just trying to help you understand how inflation works.
