    Sure, but inflation doesn’t factor in price hikes, for instance medical insurance, drug prices, house prices, rent, collage tuition or new expenditures that didn’t exist 20 years ago. These don’t follow the curve of inflation, they are artificialy inflated which is shown in increased profit margins.

      Rent is literally a third of inflation calculation

      How do you complain it doesn’t factor it when it’s the biggest contributor?

        Dude, I’m not complaining I’m giving you examples of things that they don’t account for. Rent is different, you have landlords jacking the price to an extreme, and then you have those who follow the inflation curve. It’s just dishonest.

          That list is wrong because they do account for those things

              No, the inflation literally tracks housing costs. There are valid criticisms, and there’s not knowing what you’re talking about

                you are the one misleading people posting graphs with no context, sorry but you are the one who make false assumption based on the graphs you are posting.

                  Which false assumptions? I explain my points clearly without brushing off other people. Be specific
