Eggs and gas still over 3$

Who released this data?? Time to fire somebody!
🛑💰 2,7%... Too much - let us look at what's with prices in Mar-a-lago. ‼️Do Trump get the same as we got?
Morons Are Governing Again
Jair Bolsonaro (TRUMP's FRIEND) repeats insult to Congresswoman Maria do Rosário: 'I only won't rape you because you don't deserve it' extra.globo.com/noticias/bra...
How high is the real number?
Uh OH, time to fire the person who did these numbers now!
A noxious mix of higher prices and higher unemployment
I hear the new guys at the BLS is reporting no inflation.
Does anyone still trust these figures?

MAGA doesn't care. They would pay 5 times this amount just to align themselves with their orange messiah.
Live Updates: U.S. Inflation Report Shows Effects of Trump’s Tariffs f the nyt gift link
Sure that'll turn out to be Biden's fault...
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 😹
Don't worry; next month it's going to be -1500%!
I wonder who gets fired today for this.
I honestly couldn't tell if you meant Trump firing the statistics person or NYT firing the headline writer for blaming Trump.
My exact first thought.
He already fired them, that's why these numbers came in lower than expected.
Stable Genius is going to lose his shit & fire someone… Invest in Sharpies - it’s a sure thing…
Fake news. Person who compiles this figure to be replaced by Roseanne Barr in 3..2...1...
That’s bs the bureau of labor statistics is afraid of being fired.
I’d like to see a few more reports on all those people crying about the price of eggs before the election and how they feel since Trump didn’t exactly keep his promise about making everything cheaper
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.
Exact why he has delayed the tariffs on China, they will have another huge impact. So many people are enraged already, he wants to hide the truth and will continue to do so.
You’re fired.
"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...
Okay, who needs to be fired now?
Daddy’s money Donny- guess your daddy buying your way into Wharton doesn’t mean you’re actually smart or educated.
And wages?
Even small percentage changes can hit hard when they’re on top of everything else going up.
Did Trump's new sycophant in BLS produce this number?
Yet the stock market is going up. The rich getting richer
Make America Groan Again
I do not trust these numbers. We all know Trump has been cooking the books.
But he promised we'd have lower grocery prices! 🙄
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!
