      If you honestly believe groceries are only 2.2% higher than they were in 2019/2020, a meaningful discussion is a dubious endeavor.

        Oh, you don’t understand inflation at all.

        Do you think groceries in 1945 were 3% higher than 1845? Since apparently we’re making meaningless comparisons across years now?

        Inflation at 2-3% is good

          What? I’m talking about before Jay Powell increased the M2 money supply by $6 Trillion.

          Inflation metrics are year over year. The M2 supply, however was drastically inflated under his tenure, namely 2020-2022. The data you’re citing is completely manipulated.
