Don't Get Fooled Again - 12 June 2021 - Plague Journal Day 457

Micah 6:8
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.

"The 3.8% rise in the core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy prices, was the sharpest increase in nearly three decades."

Wait a minute. How can a measure of core inflation explicitly exclude the core things we purchase: food and energy?
Yes, I know they report it that way because 3.8% (still far too high) is lower than what it would be if they included the actual core of people's purchases. I also understand that they deliberately mis-name it as the core rate to mislead us. I'm just sick of being lied to about nearly everything nearly all the time by nearly everyone. Aren't you?


Here's Hoping.

Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
