But sure, it's better than a 25% increase in prices, so we got that going for us... Which is nice...

Kinda' like receiving "total consciousness on your death bead"...
3.5 years ago, 2021? Inflation at that time was 7%; is that what you want?

Yes, inflation has been lower in the recent past. Most years since 1996 have had inflation rates less than 3%. I would certainly prefer 1% over 3.3% but I see a decreasing trend over the last four years as a positive sign.
