The price increases remained milder than feared, keeping the US central bank on track to cut interest rates next week.

      Economists hate this one trick. If we don’t test for it we don’t have inflation. Time for the fed to cut rates

    Inflation on important things is rather in the 10s or 20s with certain food items going up 50%-100% since 2020. the inflation numbers are completely artificial imo.

      oh for sure, they exclude things like gas and rent calling them too volatile, but that’s what people actually care about day to day

        Big box warehouse trip recently, grocery items significantly up, brand name clothing about the same or a bit less, which indicates, in my mind, necessary goods that are nature - made are not so readily producible are going to continue to rise in price as the climate continues to heat up, while manufactured goods will be overabundant; I am not imagining workers in either industry to have much improved pay or conditions, as market needs will justify one and market saturation to justify the other.
