And yet, when the CPI figure is released, it excludes those “volatile energy and food sectors” as if nobody uses energy and eats. WHO BELIEVES ANY OF THIS???!!! After having this BS shoved up everyone’s a$$ since Jan, 2021, if there isn’t a HUGE electoral reversal come Nov, 2024, this country is finished.

The CPI figure has nothing to do with what the overall rate of inflation is at your house. It is used to measure what the FED should do about it, so it’s a smoothed average cutting out things that can jump up and down violently at any time, which makes analysis impossible. Just make up your own number for your household so you’ll be happy. Call it 100% if you like, no one cares.
