> CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) And CPI is "Consumer Price Index", aka inflation measurement. For anyone unfamiliar with the title. (Like me)

>The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation, doctors' and dentists' services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Convenient how it doesn't also include housing cost increases, as if that's not part of day-to-day living, like we're all snails carrying our house on our back we got for free since birth, when housing costs are possibly the highest burden on most young workers now. Edit: I am wrong

Highly likely there will be no rate cuts for the rest of this year. Higher for longer and the fed is going to either hold or increase interest rates.

> The index for food was unchanged in September, as the index for food away from home increased 0.2 percent and the index for food at home fell 0.1 percent. Restaurant prices are absolutely out of control. My local Chickfila is no longer wrapping cars around the parking lot. They might still be putting up good numbers via expansion but there is no way the per-store economics are trending well. I remember when it was arguably cheaper ( especially once you factor in your time) to go buy off the Taco Bell value menu. You could get a bag of burritos filled to the top for like $12. This will hardly purchase a single menu item today. It feels like we are in some kind of fast food death spiral right now.

If only prices didn't take the elevator while salaries took the stairs.

Heating oil prices increasing 26% in August and September, up 74% YoY... it's going to be a horrible winter for a lot of families, mine included. Heating bills are going to be over $1k / month for a lot of the northeast. You can't budget for a 75% increase in a major expense.

Where are they shopping that prices have only risen 3.7% YoY? That does not match neither my grocery bill inflation nor product shrinkflation.

No pain, no gain.

The worst part of all this is that they are now going to raise rates when this is not money supply driven inflation. You cannot lower inflation by interest rates when it is caused by rising oil and ferilizer prices. But I am afraid this is what they will do to screw the democrats after they take the house and the senate and then blame the market crash all on them.
