>There's nothing the fed can do to escape this one, it's either massive inflation or massive recession. The fed has avoided the latter by bailing out the banks again so expect double digit inflation for the next decade. I love how confident people are with their predictions. Since you're so confident about what's going to happen, why does CPI matter to you? You can invest in the market in such a way you're going to be rich anyway. Anyway, I'll happily help make you richer: do you want to make a long term bet that there won't be double digit inflation for the next decade (let's say there won't be annualized inflation >= 10% over the period from March 25th, 2023 to March 24th, 2033)?
