Re: Does anyone care about the economy?
gave NPR a listen, and hearing "inflation has hit record highs in the wake of russia's invasion and the resulting sanctions" is just such insidious propaganda, less because of the content and more because of its breeziness, its ease. it just floats along, effortlessly priming the cattle to accept the state of affairs as such

Re: Does anyone care about the economy?
I read today that in the early 80s they took mortgage and rent increases out of the figure to make inflation look lower. Is that true? Or did I read it wrong?

in 1983 the BLS shifted the way it calculated the housing portion of the CPI, from nominal housing prices to "owner's equivalent rent"elliseamos wrote:I read today that in the early 80s they took mortgage and rent increases out of the figure to make inflation look lower.
