Who's got the crunchy numbers on CPI basket inventory changing over time? here's what I'd love to see:

- Per year, the items removed from and added to the basket

- Per year, what the basket **would have cost** this year if last year's items were included (should be much higher)

- Per year, what **today's basket** would cost with **next year's** modifications (should be much lower)

- A cumulative analysis or comparisons between year X and year Y

3% to 6% higher than the newer methodologies. Tracks.

Remember that inflation compounds.

Yup.

I got ChatGPT "deep research" to do this for me, complete with mountains of references. It's shockingly good.

Gotta clean it up a little and will post it tomorrow maybe
