      Take that further and you get the joke that was that AP article:

      .1% less inflation still is 2.9% inflation on top of what we still have. Year over year. Good news right?!

      I look forward to population decline in some countries. Deflation will happen then.

        It’s already occurring. Japan is imploding and it has been a forward indicator for our economy since about the 90s.
