They keep talking about 5% this and 6% that for inflation, but every God-damned thing I buy is 25-30% more expensive than last year. What the fuck is staying so cheap that it's offsetting that? It ain't meat, electricity, natural gas, pet food, gasoline, cars, housing, insurance, wood, or fucking ammunition.
$19 for a 2lb beef chuck roast. It's rich folk food now.
It's because (((they))) factor in substitution when calculating the CPI. For instance, you used to buy a T-bone once a week, but now buy beef flavored ramen. Since a ramen dinner is cheaper (for now) than what you used to pay for a t-bone dinner, your costs actually went down. Therefore you actually experienced deflation.
Just like with the pandemic of the unvaccinated, you should trust the government numbers and not your lying eyes. Trust the and definitely don't do your own research.
That's a bit like saying someone who has their legs ripped off in an industrial accident is not worse off because they can still get around in a wheelchair.
I think economists would conclude the world is better off after someone's legs are ripped off. They can still get around and now they have access to handicapped parking spots. It's really a win for them. Plus their accident helped the wheel chair and medical industry.
They use their position of authority to sell lies to women who don't know any better.
