Fiat economists are truly a special breed…
They have no desire to search for truth, only to find the perfect manipulated metric to support the conclusions they have already drawn.
“All items less food, shelter, energy, and used cars and trucks.”
What a sad joke. 
Nobody really needs food, shelter and energy anyways. And surely even you can agree means of transportation is quite the luxury!
What do you expect lol even CPI is manipulated bullshit.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Include nothing but deflationary items in an inflation metric . Makes sense to me 🤦🏻♂️
They expect us to not notice the list of things they don't count now looks almost exactly like the survival situation priority list. My water bill is up. I expect my breathing bill will be in the mail soon.
