This is "the thread". An Austrian, bothered with the lack of action by government on #inflation , built a software to track supermarkets prices. Then it got interesting. The data shows signs of oligopolic practices, supermarkets having the same price changes at the same time, and how variable prices (same product with or without discount) make it difficult to the consumer to show that prices have increased, while feeling it in their pockets. Read it, it's a great story.
