i have no idea what you're talking about, goy. and remember that we tend to OVERSTATE inflation.

>>29488065
nothing to see here, goyim. for another laugh compare your grocery bill 1 year ago to today, and then look at the CPI estimates for food inflation. https://www.bls.gov/regions/mid-atlantic/data/averageretailfoodandenergyprices_usandmidwest_table.htm

they do all sorts of magic, like considering food substitutions (less people eating meat and substitution high fructose grain garbage) and using that as a basis for driving down "raw" inflation data to something more palatable for dissemination to the jewish media.

>>29393301
and then you (((adjust))) the results until you get a number you can live with, and then you disseminate this to the (((media))) so they can write mind control articles like
>inflation below expectations. and where's how.

>>26991566
Good idea. I wonder if McChicken (the best fastfood sandwich) is a better measure than Big Macs.

learn what statistical adjustments and hand-wringing operations they perform to arrive at those jewish lies like 1-2%/year. a good starting point would be googling what the BLS calls a "hedonic quality adjustment." i suggest you unfuck your worldview, stop believing jewish lies, and take some personal responsibility. save receipts and log your expenses for 1-2 years. you will be shocked by what a real, granular, PERSONAL measure of inflation reveals -- that is, year on year price increases for identical products that you personally purchase.

>10%
first of all it's 7% inflation adjusted. second of all look at this post >>24589092

the BLS makes all sorts of jewish adjustments to understate inflation and justify it with their usual jewish handwaving. this isn't some /pol/ conspiracy theory, they outline it in their methodology papers. if you want a starter look at their concept of "hedonic quality adjustments" which is related to this pic. they apply it to all sorts of shit, like housing or cars, which are incredibly inflated by any measure of common sense.

the BLS kikes will adjust this inflation downward by arguing that infotainment touch screens and 10 speed automation transmissions in a new car are technological improvements which improve the quality of the product and so they are within their rights to understate inflation because of this, it's a hedonic adjustment (never mind that you can't buy a new car without this shit and most people care more about a car costing $30k minimum rather than a 10 speed transmission or a touch screen display.) the same applies to housing, they argue for a hedonic adjustment downward because new apartments and houses are larger and having hardwood floors which partially offsets the 5-10% real inflation that real people see every year.

don't ever for a second trust these government kikes, especially economists. they're all fucking liars, every last one of them. "oy vey it's only 1.7% inflation per year, you should be happy with mr. shekelberg's generous 2.0% cost of living raise!" meanwhile everything around is is ACTUALLY getting 5-10% more expensive per year.

>>24298893

yes i guess that's why the kikes claim 1.3% inflation yet housing, healthcare, and tuition go up by 5% minimum every year. or even food.

>>23952638
open your eyes. everything is inflated

>>23808723
That makes me lol. Everyone that has silver and gold is a Nazi. So I suppose the FED are the biggest Nazis out there.

>>23778518
i'll stop eating fast food (which i rarely eat to begin with.) costs are out of control. get ready for hyperinflation while the kikes at the BLS work their talmudic magic on the CPI so we can placate the nigger cattle masses with claims of "oy vey, it's only 1.5% per year" so you ignore the costs of everything around you rapidly outpacing your generous 1.7% cost of living raise.

oh shit i'm sorry

>>22263303
Fast food in general is costing way more. What's weird is that it isn't always even cheaper than good places now. So it hardly feels worth it sometimes besides the convenience.

You know TIPS are based on the CPI, right fren?

Not only that (chart) but the burger is smaller, not just a higher cost. If gold went to even $5,000 the burger will be $12 at least and probably of a shittier quality again. I think a more realistic price would be $20 as there would be a real shortage of input ingredients at that point.

because link will moon like the big mac has

It's not just assets, anon. The stimuluses from the great recession increased inflation massively, everywhere.

They should've let everything go bankrupt, back in 2008. The fed should not be in the business of influencing investors' short positions. Corporate leadership would've learned their lessons and not made such risky plays.

Instead, they continued borrowing, adding risk, and over leveraging their businesses.
