Great, you found the same data I did though I prefer the table view found on other pages.
What I don’t see there is your point. Yes, inflation was high in 2022. Today is not 2022 and today inflation is not high. Comparisons to 2020 are as valid as comparisons to 2009 and 2015 - there is a reason why inflation was low and it is not something we should desire to repeat.
