    This 3% inflation number (CPI) is not good news 😞

    What it means is “inflation increased 3% since last year”.

    Actual inflation is 17-20% rn

        Downvote but “negative” CPI is good news…slowing just shows that the wealthy are not making “as much” as they did last year.

          That’s a bit like saying “bleeding less from your wound isn’t good. Only NOT bleeding is good”

          Also your take that inflation is due solely to the wealthy is hilariously inaccurate
