Yes yes… We’ve been having this debate since BLS was formed.

It’s not nearly as manipulated as you think it is.

Lots of ‘true inflation calculators’ out there.

99% of them just reveals the ignorance of the ppl that built it.

You may want to study some macroeconomics and look into what CPI is and how it’s calculated first.

Hint: it is not ‘changed by the Fed’
