CPI is a constantly bullshit metric fudged to meet whatever best suits the central planners that they think they can plausibly pass off to the public.

"The 2 percent target widely adopted by central banks today originated from New Zealand, and surprisingly it came not from any academic study, but rather from an offhand comment during a television interview." 🥴
