Consumer prices rose 3.8% highest since May 2023 Anonymous 05/12/26(Tue)15:07:00 No. 1514499   [Reply] ►
The consumer price index rose putting the one-year pace at 3.8%, the highest since May 2023.

Excluding food and energy, the core CPI increased 0.4% and 2.8%, respectively, keeping inflation well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% goal.

The report also contained bad news for workers, as real average hourly wages slipped 0.5% for the month and fell 0.3% annually.

Though energy and in particular gasoline has been much of the headline story, inflation pressures also came from a variety of other areas.

3.8% is only 3.8% of 100%!

This is really great news, because imagine if we had 100% inflation!
If we had 200% inflation, a Big Mac would go from $3 to $6.

No, as they're going to put me on the new $1,000 bill.
Soon the $1,000 bill will be the new $10 bill, and they will be many in circulation, and everyone will see my picture.
