So... when you say "perceived inflation", you're really just saying that you, personally, perceive inflation. And therefore I can't disprove that with numbers, because numbers don't change your perception. Well, touche. I can't beat that logic.
But in the real world, you do admit that current inflation as traditionally understood by centuries of economics is a little under 3% right now, right?
- kelipso 2y agoPerceived by me and by pretty much everyone except delusional people like you who believe the official numbers. Keep your head in the sand, why would I care. And absolutely not lol, the numbers are cooked up, as I said before. You are really really bad at reading comprehension.
- ajross 2y agoSince you cite "pretty much everyone" with the same rigor you do your inflation numbers, I think I'm comfortable with my characterization of "perceived inflation" as your own personal perception. To wit: you're just simply wrong here, and instead of arguing from a rational basis you're hiding behind your philosophical right to be wrong about whatever you want. And that's very distressing to see on a site like HN.
- kelipso 2y agoYou can be comfortable in your delusion, that’s fine with me. I’m not writing a thesis when it’s so obvious that inflation is much higher than what is officially reported.
