2.  Is Inflation higher or lower than Jun 2021?

If you prove it is lower you will then show I don't know ****.  If you can't, it proves you are an asshole.

Answer the first time.

 

And there are a whole host of items that are killing the middle class.

This is INDISPUTABLY vague.

2.  Is Inflation higher or lower than Jun 2021?

It is much lower.

Remember, you don't know ****..

For the month, it was NEGATIVE.

The Consumer Price Index, a measurement of the average change in prices for a commonly purchased basket of goods and services, dropped 0.1% from May,

In June, 2021 it was 0.9

On a monthly basis, headline and core prices rose 0.9% against 0.5% estimates.

If you prove it is lower you will then show I don't know ****.

Say it

…..seemingly, you grasp for that silver lining, urging us not to believe what we see with our own eyes. …..after all, it was my vivid imagination that I saw $3.46 per gallon for one gas station and $3.40 per gallon of unleaded for another. (could it be the meds? no no)
​​​​​​….there’s a kind coolaid that you’re slinging, and I just can’t ignore that wry smile that you must giving at that moment.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/11/economy/ ... index.html

Look, I'm not one of these chicken **** who is going to sit here and pretend that trump had no part in the **** show. He had PLENTY. But pretending that a small drop in the price of certain goods and services we are instructed amount to fair and impartial indicia is some achievement? That is just silly.

From the embedded link in the cnn story:

"The Consumer Price Index, a measurement of the average change in prices for a commonly purchased basket of goods and services, dropped 0.1% from May, which helped to slow the annual rate of inflation to 3% from 3.3% in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest report."

How a tenth of a percent price drop brings five months at 3.3% down to 3% is some mathematics they don't teach at the various JuCos and community colleges I attended. The way my math works, a growth rate of 3.3% per annum over a 5 month period would put prices up by 5/12ths of 3.3%, which comes to a 1.375% increase over those five months. So, a basket of goods costing 100 bucks on 1 January would cost 101.37(5) on 30 May. 

Okay, take one tenth of one percent of the cost off that basket, and that basket now costs 101.27(5). One tenth of one percent of 101.37(5) is a dime. Plus a bit over a tenth of a penny. A tenth of a percent drop in one month does not bring 3.3% inflation down to 3% inflation, as best my intermediate algebra chops can cipher. 

Another point to consider is this, from the same link: "Falling gas prices as well as a drop in new and used car prices helped to usher in the first month-on-month decline since May 2020, BLS data showed." When you consider that prices grew (at a rate not specified) for 48 straight months, a price drop of 1/10th OF A PENNY ON THE DOLLAR is not a reprieve from the bonfire.

Why don't you, as the Pride of Brown and a champion googler, DEFEND YOUR OP by showing us what I am missing and how the math ACTUALLY works?

I certainly hope you are not suggesting that the "basket of commonly purchased goods" has been cherry picked for political purposes, sir. Damn your hide if you are, sir - damn your hide!

The old adage applies here as you so systematically disassembled it that "when figures lie, it's because liars figured..."

administrations have a sordid history of cherry picking sectors to shine the rainbow band of light up the likes if RN's ***...

Pssssst. DICKSUCKER....

What was the US inflation rate in June 2021?
The 12-month trimmed mean inflation rate was 2.0 percent in June, up from 1.9 percent in May. The 12-month inflation rate for headline PCE was 4.0 percent, unchanged from May, while the 12-month inflation rate for PCE excluding food and energy was 3.5 percent, up from 3.4 percent a month earlier.

YOU LOSE!! TODAY it's at 3%.

Two weeks ago Biden said no soldiers have died under his leadership.

Bad data tells me different

Thanks for asking...

I watched Morning Joe for awhile yesterday.
They convinced me that the country is in great shape under Biden.
