Paul Krugman is living proof that you can be a freaking moron and still win a Nobel Prize. https://i.nostr.build/85Rz.jpg
I have to assume 'ex' means excluding, which would make this man a massive moron indeed.
Yup. CPI is intentionally designed to exclude the main and most essential costs in daily life in favour of useless consumerist purchases to give a total scam of an underestimated figure. And this is the sole measure by which the Fed and government measure inflation. https://image.nostr.build/e87710972519018fa36c565b24f79862c630487a56322455c9b147215ce196d8.jpg
I'm really stoned and posted the wrong meme but in a roundabout way it still works lol.
“We won! The rate of theft is at Fed approved levels again if you exclude necessities. Take that internet!”
He tweeted it, twice
Never in all of recorded human history have we seen such levels of brazen gaslighting as this nostr:note1x84l3gv6nlzjwcelw5wp0nepcjp320yp5j9qq2uncac5t7e0qafqgf67aj
Gaslighting at its finest!
The same as if I say, that war on drugs is over and "we" won. 😆
Tbf drugs did win the war on drugs long ago 😅 https://image.nostr.build/823a4cc302acf07ce32b6ee9475062f8c48476bb1009f58a48b3a9f33b4e4b35.jpg
Who's "we"?
I wonder are these guys really that stupid or do they have no ethics? 🤔
Little of column A, little of column B.
Excluding food, energy, shelter, and cars, which are all up roughly 40% since 2020. nostr:nevent1qqsrr6lc5xdfl3f8vvlh28qheusufqc48jq6fzsq9wfuwu29lvhsw5spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzp3yw98cykjpvcqw2r7003jrwlqcccpv7p6f4xg63vtcgpunwznq3qvzqqqqqqyrl0phc
And probably constitute about 80% of spending (wage, not credit) for most
It's literally the four things that all of us need to survive. Who cares if the prices of OLED TVs are still reasonable??
Maybe we should all just transact in OLED TVs, seeing as the price is so stable 😂
OLED panels are sound money you heard it here first! 😂
You got change for an 80" 4k?
Yeah hold on I have a few Apple Watch replacements
Got a few Samsung Galaxy OLEDs in my wallet mate.
yep. inflation is defeated so long as you don’t count basic human necessities.
What a tool
So you’re saying there’s a chance for me https://media.tenor.com/detdizKz19kAAAAC/theres-a-chance-jimcarrey.gif
A moron doesn't get to where he is, so the more plausible explanation is that he's trying to gaslight us. nostr:nevent1qqsrr6lc5xdfl3f8vvlh28qheusufqc48jq6fzsq9wfuwu29lvhsw5spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzp3yw98cykjpvcqw2r7003jrwlqcccpv7p6f4xg63vtcgpunwznq3qvzqqqqqqyrl0phc

Oh you mean the guy who got locked out of his Venmo account and cried about it on social media like a karen?
He's not an idiot, he's a propagandist. Idiots are the ones who fall for what he says
nah, he probably aint a moron, just an asshole being paid a lot to promote a ponzi.
So, the inflation is low as long as you don’t eat any food, live on the side of street,use no energy and not driving a car, right? Does anyone actually believe that this is making sense?
