Please ignore the wild growth of grocery costs. Also I hate how “inflation is only 2% now” but the fucking eggs still cost 2x what they did 3 years ago.

    they probably excluded all real jobs and just counted CEOs or something. like that krugman(?) chart where he proves that the price of things is fine, while carefully excluding anything actually needed to live, like food and housing.

      Economists are for the most part huge frauds. They are the court jesters of the ruling class, except their jokes aren’t funny.

      I have met some k-pop style economist fanboys, and one of them said the way to control Pinochet and Friedman Chicago boys would have been through sensible regulations. What do you even say to that?
