Let the celebration commence - as people don’t understand why the CPI is dropping - it’s called a global recession...
If the economy is not bad enough and the people feel cheery and optimistic next fall, then the country will vote for a socialist takeover. Either the American people suffer or the country is lost forever.
I wonder if that one is convoluted enough
The economy is so bad, I saw a white guy robbing a liquor store.....................
Okay, inflation is dropping.
But we are still paying a whole lot more than we did in 2020 for the same item.
The middle class will be better off if there’s a mild recession. So there will be fewer buyers chasing goods. We were able to crush inflation in the early 1980s with a recession in 1982.
I don’t really believe these numbers.
Exactly. Not looking forward to this...
Well, we all see that fuel prices are fairly stable right now, and apparently car prices are imploding. So there’s that.
All people on a modest, fixed income still have to cope with the old $2.49 grocery items that became $4.99 or $5.29 due to inflation. The prices haven’t gone down even if certain segments of the work force got modest raises.
Millions of people are paying more for everything than the day Trump left the White House.
The increase being slowed doesn’t mean we’re back to Trump days.
Grocery stores near me have had additional dumpsters brought on site to handle all the unsold food they have to throw away. They no longer will mark down or reduce prices to move sales. It’s insane!
When you discount food and energy...... 🐮💨💩 and 🖕 to the liars.
That's not going to bother the elite in this country, who's mostly Democratic. It'll be interesting to see the data but I bet you most millionaires in the U.S. voted for Biden in 2020.
They will bally-hoo this news for the weekend shows.
Inflation ROSE 0.2%, but that is still GOING UP! Just not as fast................................
The CPI is NOT Dropping. The amount of increase is slowing.
Mostly due to fracking in the USA catching up to demand.
Probably won’t matter who they vote for. 🤔
Give it time. Disney World is no longer too crowded. Apparently, American families can no longer afford to go to Disney World.
Over the weekend, I found at least three grocery items we purchased had gone up in price from the previous weekend. And I am not talking about the volatile items like eggs, milk, beef, and chicken. Each week, it seems like our grocery bill is a $1 or $2 more than expected. Death by a thousand paper cuts.
The 500# fat man didn’t gain any weight this month. Hurray.
