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.

Okay, obviously the new story is crazy and everybody is talking about that, but can we please talk about how stupid this graph is?
The x-axis is labeled every five years except for starting with 1999 for some reason. It makes sense to stop at 2023 because that’s probably the extent of the data.
But then the years aren’t properly aligned with the tick marks that represent the year?!? And there’s two major tick marks per year on the x-axis?!
And I just can’t tell on my phone screen. But I think the data stops before the last tick mark? which implies too many tick marks… It just doesn’t make any sense.
economist didn’t get paid enough to take math class
Economists are the fucking soothsayers of capitalism, nothing more, just throwing bones before the altar of Mammon.
