Unusual Whales RAINS on Biden's 'inflation has slowed' parade with painful REALITY of #Bidenflation

While Biden and the Democrats act like inflation is finally slowing, Unusual Whales was good enough to remind Americans what the cost of things really IS … and where that inflation ‘slowing’ is coming from.

Take a look:

Inflation price changes in the last year, per CPI report:

Fuel oil: +41%
Gas utilities: +19.3%
Transportation: +14.6%
Electricity: +14.3%
Food at home: +11.8%
Food away from home: +8.3%
Shelter: +7.5%
CPI: +6.5%
New cars: +5.9%
Gas: -1.5%
Used cars: -8.8%

We’re paying more to stay warm (cool), to get around, to eat at home or out, for our homes … so basically unless you’re in the market for a used car things really aren’t much better for you right now.

US CPI: 6.5%, est: 6.5%

US Core CPI: 5.7%, est: 5.7%, prev: 6%

CPI MoM: -0.1%, est: -0.1%https://t.co/E9SOE2vSsi

Yay.

One of these evenings, I really need to dig into how they calculate the “Food at Home” inflation rate.
Prices from 2021 to 2022

Lettuce: .99ea – 1.25 = 26%

Hamburger 80/20: 5.99lb – 6.99lb = 16.7%

Eggs AA lrg: 1.99 – 2.99 = 50.2%

Many more examples. Most food prices up >20%

Eggs … eggs are insane.

And bacon.

Bread.

You know, staples.
