Are there other categories of price increases?

Teach me words pls. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I heard the Consumer Price Index is unrealistic, due to the weights (I believe relative importance is their term or something) it sets for things. An explanation from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

“In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are aggregated using weights, which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group”

So if you want to make your CPI look better, just crank down the relative weight of importance of gas. Pretend that the entire country only needs to commute 5 miles to and from work each day, for example

The CPI is basically whatever they want it to be. If they want it to look better and not alarm people, they adjust the rates of relative importance

Biden, Yellen, and the Fed can't wait for government math to take care of these CPI inflation numbers for them next year.

I see, it's not that we're dumb. We're just fatigued by what Jib refers to as "sinners lies" from the higher ups.

Cheerfully withdrawn. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Elizondo revving the bias motor again.

iCitizen’s current polls on their site.

Should religious schools be eligible for public funding?

Is there anything even good in Biden's $1.75 trillion "Build Back Better Bill" that was passed by the House?

For the Kyle Rittenhouse trial do you agree…

Ha ha ha

Which federal government agencies should be eliminated?
Top Answer
Department of Education...

Their polls on Biden approval % are better for him than the real ones.

Weird site!

He could cut two trillion dollars in taxes to make it even worse.... Or he could undermine and do literally nothing but suppress covid infections because the numbers "looked bad".

I’m torn on what to do here. I normally donate, last weekend I walked past the Salvation Army staff with their jangling bells and just said hi and didn’t

It’s not the staff’s fault, or the kid’s fault that the Salvation Army leaders are partisan propaganda pushers. I dunno, I’ll probably end up donating still if I see another one, I felt bad last time

Edit: Hopefully lefties will be inspired to donate extra now due to Salvation Army apparently pushing the same political positions as them publicly to help compensate for conservatives stopping donating

Even the Christians at Salvation Army reject your hateful and bigoted politics, paste eater.
