there are several different ways different outlets Figure inflation. I never know which is which. I don't like the one that tosses out energy prices.
It's the one posted legit?
I dont love these ones.
1. CPI is a lagging indicator.
2. These are manipulated like crazy. WalMart, Costco, and Home Depot are the best purchasers on the planet. For the entirety of their histories, their cost was always less than cpi on their skus (usually significantly). However, for 18-24 months during Biden admin, their costs far exceeded reported reported CPI. Did they forget their biggest competitive advantage or was the govt figures BS....
