The numbers must be fudged, no way it is only 8.6%

You are right, it’s not adding up. Nobody who can do the math will be given a platform though. Gotta keep everybody nice and calm, keep ‘m occupied with finding a third job.

Inflation is actually only 6% according to core CPI, the only goods worth measuring are paper clips and office printer paper.

Keep sucking the governments meat rod, it’s the cheapest way to get all the protein you need, you lying PoS. Food is one of the most important measures, and its inflation is a hell of a lot higher than 6% compared to may last year.

They use a 'hedonistic adjustment' to fudge the numbers. For example, a $1000 PC today might confer 3x the happiness points as a $1000 PC ten years ago because it's more advanced. What they forgot is that THERE ARE NO GOOD GAMES ANYMORE so the hedonistic adjustment doesn't work. They do the same for cars (car prices haven't gone up, they've just gotten so much BETTER!), etc. Now shut up and go buy a PS5, which should give you 50x the happiness points the PS2 you had when you were younger did

cpi metrics were changed post 80's hyperinflation. The real number is probably more like over 20%/mo and rising.

no, i didn't say that. the currency will indeed fail. i assumed that the anon meant the government won't be able to keep the narrative under control anymore at some point in the future. for most of the population, ie. npc's, they will continue to believe any narrative the government says even during widespread famine and Zimbabwe hyperinflation. they'll blame it on a new covid variant and tell people to go get a booster, which they will do, even though they're literally starving to death out in the cold

I know this is a joke but I wouldn't be surprised if they factor in the fact cars with computers and cameras and hybrid systems and other gay bullshit cost like 10k more than a car without all that shit, just a machine that moves you from A to B, like in the 1950s would.

Like boomer retards always talk all this stupid shit about 'kids having it better' but I don't need a car that tracks me wherever I got, I would pay 3k for a car that's just a hunk of shit that goes rather than 13k for some piece of garbage that knows when I masturbate.

Cellphones are also bullshit. There's just too much bullshit in general nowadays that causes costs to add up.
