Inflation numbers are a scam, that's all, really. They apply random multipliers to many products to account for "quality" and "performance", it completely skew the numbers and doesn't reflect the life of most people. They even give you an example showing how the same car but with 3 more speeds, "smartphone integration" and "keyless entry" should be 3.6% inflation but actually counts as 0.6% Same for computers, mobiles, etc. https://www.bls.gov/cpi/quality-adjustment/vehicles.htm https://www.bls.gov/cpi/factsheets/wireless-telephone-servic... | ||
