Good morning, gub.
If we calculated inflation the same way we did 40 years ago, the inflation rate would actually be 17%.
Hope there is light traffic for you on the way in this morning.

Yes, inflation is killing us, no matter how you look at it.
Thank you for the sentiment about the traffic, but I'm milking this work-at-home for as long as possible. So the only traffic I am encountering this morning is my dogs coming into my office for belly rubs.
