@NerdyPotato OK the CPI is not inflation.
And yet the Bureau of Labor Statistics which publishes it states:
How odd? You better have a talk with them and set them straight in the morning. Now have some warm milk, take your Lithium and go to bed.

@irishmolly72 There is nothing to set straight. CPI is a measure of average price changes. Inflation is the rate at which that average increases. That's not the same.

@irishmolly72 it's not that difficult, but I won't keep trying to explain because you're just not willing to understand.
