Cpi calculation is being manipulated heavily.  From Feb, it will be based on Month to Month.  So, Jpow was right Inflation is technically  transitionary, although we know it isn’t true.  Maybe good for big corp and billionaires as they don’t need to increase wage.

I totally know it's being manipulated.  Fuckin Owner Equivalent Rent is weighted at around 25% of the overall calculation while actual rent is weighted at 7%.  Look up how they collect the values for OER and laugh.  I'm just trying to find data that can prove to me they aren't outright lying.  When collecting similar data for foodstuffs, using the same items in the basket of goods, weights, and calculations, some quick maffs comes up with wildly different numbers so I'm beginning to think the actual raw data is being lied about, not just using creative mathematics to make things appear better.

I keep running into a wall of "trust me bro" looking through the .gov websites and, frankly, my trust in big bro is low.
