I think they didn't like hotlinking, but in 2015 there was a comic about (in german) hint: yes there was a typing error... (-; Comic: //i.ibb.co/ScZWgLt/938-AL

  Is there a TL;DR translation for the comic? I don't think I get the humour/point. All I understood is that the government and media are faking the inflation numbers to be lower than reality that people notice.

    I don't think the comic is particularly insightful, but here is a translation. I tried to stay close to the original, but you might say some things a bit differently in English: Title: Dishonest Could you explain this to me? Government and media are talking about low inflation, but what I am seeing is that prices are exploding. ...they lie, by deliberately calculating incorrectly or sometimes even skipping details. The bad thing is, it doesn't just happen here. Everywhere in the world all central banks seem to be doing it. Through their dishonesty they give themselves more opportunities for influence.. ...Balances are inflated.. ...to trick a part of the population and to make them believe things would get better.. ...while the standard of living is moving in another direction.. through highs and lows! You know that. You have to learn to talk to the subordinates to keep them optimistic...

      Ah, it's a comic in the same way as the dreck that Ben Garrison puts out is a "comic"
