Interesting how normal people are busy learning how inflation, unemployment and other very important numbers are calculated, adjusted and updated. The weights assigned to the basket as well as the basket ratios and items in the basket have become interesting in itself 😹

Keep in mind this is with a pause on people/businesses making large investments. Also as an example 22 year old college grads are not finding employment, and thus not seeking housing or spending…

AI will cause inflation in construction, but bring down wages, as companies continually don’t hire for positions that AI can do.

"deepening impact"---can you use a more boring phrase? When Biden had similar inflation numbers for 2 months in spring 2024 (and correctly predicted it would get better)--NYT framed it as a huge blow to Biden.. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/10/b...

It “feels” a lot worse (higher) than 2.7%. Everything is up! Gas, groceries, dining out, electricity (which is sky high), hotels, trips, everything you do it a lot more than last year!
