hard products like this, the CPI is pretty good estimate. Within services, it's a dumpster fire of a sampling process. Owner's equivalent rent is the worst dumpster fire with health insurance next. so what's your egg spending as a percentage of total spend?? versus insurance and taxes?? I know people have individual pain points and cherry pick examples to suit their own biases, but eggs? one carton lasts two weeks for us, = 24 max cartons per year, which = $100 +/- not significant. . breakfast or lunch at any non fast food joint is easily $20 per person, $25-30 if hungry with tip. . . That's all labor inflation from increasing minimum wage to compete for labor and mandatory labor rates. . not to be argumentative, and its not that these numbers are perfect, its that they are what the government and lots of decisions are made on. . government and private decisions using the best information possible. . Gas buddy analyst, gas prices are the lowest in several years across the country. . . yeah, stations play games with customers, inventory, expected increases, etc. but gas prices on an inflation adjusted basis, very, very , very cheap. |

Just cause crud oil goes up down like rollercoaster (do to futures stock trades) don’t mean other commodities will go down ever IMO, sure might drop few cents but NEVER drop enough to make differences. |

Transitory, what a load of BS. I hate terms that attempt to deceive people into believing a fictitious agenda. The inflation we are experiencing is permanent and significant. Real meaning, prices make a transitory shift from much lower to very expensive and permanent.

At what time in the past 40 years have overall prices decreased?

Inflation is going to continue, it might level off every now and then but before you know it, it creeps in again. Compare the income in the fifties when an employee was making a $100 a week and was making ends meet, today that person would be homeless. There are a number of factors that control inflation. Supply and demand, companies that become cooperations which have to satisfy their management and their investors which today is usually us, employee shortages. It's a balancing act, the population grows to fast it causes inflation, the population grow to slow it cause inflation. Though most of us want to pin this on one fall guy, it's truly a combination of factors.

Looks like Congress needs to pass a sequel to the Inflation Reduction Act.
