The point is, an X% increase in flour prices not explain an X% increase in bakery item prices, rendering the core premise of the Twitter thread moot. If you want to contribute to this discussion, you could provide relevant information on what the actual figures would be, rather than lecturing me on how painful some bakery-unrelated 10%-price-increases are . Do you agree that might be a better use of your time? The link is about an attempt to explain inflation by flour being 30% more expensive, not an invitation for general thoughts on why 10% inflation is bad.
