        So, basically, they’re not saying anything worthy of a headline, much less a whole article. Thanks for letting us know… smdh.

        Thank you. These articles have made no sense to me but admittedly I have not bothered to rtfa after a bit as it felt like bs. This at least explains it. Funny that they are speaking non inflation adjusted which is likely what I am feeling.

      Yeah I am not making the ~25% more I should be making to stay even from 2019 to now.

        yeah. its funny the unrelated articles that I see related to it. Dr. Pepper becomes the number two soda seller. Don’t know about anyone else but around me dr. pepper is the only soda that comes up as 99 cents for a 2liter about once a month. Even the generics do not go on sale that often to that price and 69 cent 2liters are long gone. As one person pointed out in another thing the fed uses a basket of goods that changes based on what people are buying so if folks buy cheaper options out of necessity then that is not included in inflation numbers.

      The article is talking macroeconomics, you’re talking microeconomics. Two different worlds.
