    Sorry, I disagree. They made a statement about what inflation is doing and where it is going, both of which don’t reflect the reality of it. If you are going to challenge good economic news with false claims about another economic indicator, it’s best to be ready to defend your position. Unless, of course, this is all just a “woe is me” circle jerk.

    Just because it’s a softer impact for YOU doesn’t mean it’s any less of an impact for others who see inflation outpacing raises.

    I explicitly noted this multiple times. Your ability to miss it is quite impressive.

    So, fuck you.

    So, basically, you’re the asshole you claim I am. No surprises, projection is very common.

    I accuse you of bootlicking as a pushback against the notion that we should just be ok with the economy as it is.

    At what point did I say or imply anyone should be okay with it? Why is it so hard for people to not view things as black and white? Just because I accept the facts that inflation is not currently out of control and is coming down towards historical norms does not mean I think everything is perfectly fine.

    If you want people to take your positions seriously, they should be fact based, and you certainly should call people bootlickers simply because they challenge bs claims about the facts.
