It looks like the price of pizza has been steadily increasing while the quality going (somewhat?) down. I believe this fits the definition of inflation. Do you remember a year (longer?) ago, all major news sources were telling us that the inflation was only temporary? I wonder why nobody put together a web service that “gives us our memory back”, so that we could make better assessment of various news sources going forward and make better decisions as a result?
I have etched into my brain the one where our president showed his seeming contempt for his countrymen by insinuating that we could believe such a boldface lie about inflation.
“Talk of inflation,... the overwhelming consensus is that it’s going to pop up a little bit then go back down.”
