Breaking: Consumer prices rose 8.5% in July, less than expected as inflation pressures ease a bit

[Sympthsical]

6. Food prices up 10.9% year over year -13.1% food at home

1.1% month to month.

This is like climate denialism at this point. "I don't think it's getting hotter!"

At what point does saying this kind of stuff just become bonkers conspiracy theory?

With gas prices lowering, I expected inflation rate to come down - and it has. We've gotten some better news this month. Still not great, but not as bad as last month. It's a good thing.

But this, "Not a problem, doesn't exist!"

It's denialism, and it's unhelpful to send that message to voters before midterms. I'm just flabbergasted to read this sort of thing here. We're ostensibly supposed to be fact-based people.

And the worst part is, I don't think some vocal people understand how inflation works. It isn't like gas. Once rent goes up, it'll stay up. It doesn't vacillate week to week like fuel prices.

Until wages keep up with inflation, real wages will continue decreasing. If real wages decrease, families continue hurting.

I just don't think some people give a fuck how others are doing. I honestly don't. "Got mine!" is lasting even through this.

This isn't Democratic to me.
