This is like saying "my health is great ex my heart".
[edit] Also, child poverty increased more in 2022 than any time in recorded US history. So "little cost" for Krugman, but not for the population.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Not a lot. What Krugman excluded from the graph is ~70% of the total. 30% is stuff like consumer electronics, home supplies, etc.
But also, even 2% inflation can be bad if your wage growth is 0%. It might be worse than when inflation was 9%, but your wage growth was 8%. Another thing is that for some weird reason, people will prioritize things like shelter and food, so inflation in those areas always hurts more than the price of iPads. Just looking at the "inflation" number alone is really stupid. And that is because economics is a precise and conclusive science, folks!!!
