US inflation cools, consumer costs on the rise.

regional takeaways​

• Food prices rose 0.2% last month as the cost for fruits and vegetables alone increased by 1.7%.
• The energy index rose 0.8% between April and May, mainly due to higher prices for gasoline, which increased 0.8%. Prices for electricity increased 1% for the same period.
• However, as energy prices fell overall in the past year, prices paid for electricity rose 9% and prices for natural gas service rose 1.7%.
• Residents also saw higher prices last month for used vehicles (3.1% increase,) medical care (0.7% rise), and shelter (0.4% increase.)

Let me see if I've got this right. Inflation is down but prices are up?

As US inflation continues to cool, consumer costs largely on the rise in West

The "misery index" is a combination of the unemployment rate and inflation. It shows the true picture of the Biden administration's failed "recovery" after the pandemic.

Pretty hard to believe that "81 million" idiots voted for this shit.

Well somebody has to pay the kiddies $18.00 to say "I dunno" when they are standing around texting in their pretty orange home depot vest.
