    First what is that graphic supposed to mean? It doesn’t says anything about Argentina? You just put a chart without any source or explanation and expect people to understand what is supposed to represent?

    Image is the source with a link that leads to https://tradingeconomics.com/argentina/inflation-cpi which uses Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos (INDEC) data. I’m not sure how more official one can get than data coming from Ministry of Economy. Which clearly shows annual inflation increasing, not going down.

    <…> it was 57% POVERTY ESTIMATE not 60% <…>

    And I did use ODSA figure (be it rounded to 60%), as that’s what the article referred to. INDEC only releases data twice a year, and their last figure was at ~40.1% in 2023H1 and 41.7% in 2023H2. There are no data for 2024 yet.

    Your own Universidad Torcuato Di Tella source shows ~41% in November 2023 not 50% you claimed. So accusing someone of “inaccurate information” and “spouting <…> lies” just makes you look bad.

    Exact numbers, while important, are not that relevant to my original comment. The whole appearance was tone-deaf, whichever way you want to slice it. Have a nice day.

      Right, you would know about being deaf. Thanks at least for giving me the reason.

      I did specifically talk about monthly inflation. Showing the interanual inflation rate as an image and then saying it’s increasing is at the very least purposefully deceitful, given that current inflation curve will of course overlap with the past inflation curve which was the highest in years, with 211% so of course it will show as such?

      It it’s plainly even more purposely malicious when you do know what I am talking about when I express monthly inflation rates, which surprise surprise, that same site has as information as well, which does show slowing:

      But of course, that won’t fit your narrative, so you will disregard it as well.

      So yeah, pride yourself in trying to deceive people with whatever information slice you think fits your narrative,

      I do ask myself what will you do when that same curve stops overlapping. Probably nothing. It will stop fitting your narrative at that point and you’ll probably find something else to complain about
