54 Remember that quarter-century period that recently ended, when new auto prices DIDN'T GO UP AT ALL (if you believed the @BLS_gov)? That was what went into the CPI, and almost nobody questioned it. Good times. (twitter.com) posted 74 days ago by SophiesBoyfriend 74 days ago by SophiesBoyfriend +55 / -1 29 comments share 29 comments share save hide report block hide replies

Amazing - looks like traditional inflation is 3% higher EVERY year than the current “inflation”. 3% per year is huge - means you lose more than 30% per decade ON TOP of the 20% you lose per decade based off official CPI.
Just ran the numbers, and it comes to 30.47% extra over a decade.
