ILMAO, right, prices weren't on anyone's radar. You don't even know what that means. More on you're Crapitus:
Everyone was worried inflation would go negative, blah blah blah. I'm sure you lost sleep over it too. The inflation rate for 2019 was 1.81%, and 1.25% for 2020.
Price of gas for January 2020 was $2.55, and $2.20 in December 2020. You make it sound like a huge difference.
Want to see big differences? Sure you do.
Price of gas for January 2020 (pre-covid) was $2.55. Today it's $3.60. A 41% increase.
Inflation rate for 2019 was 1.81%. 2023 was 4.1%, 2022 was 8.0, and 2021 was 4.7%. In other terms, $1 in December 2020 is $1.13 today, and they're lying Mfers too. Sure, perhaps you can buy a shirt and a tv set for 13 cents more on the dollar, but how about food, utilities, housing, autos, medical and services, shit you need? If you think those have only increased by 13% since year ending 2020,, I got some swamp land and........
Our ******* govt. is lying, bigly.
