Do you believe credible news outlets or do you believe anonymous commenters on a technology forum?
- bnormative 2y agoI believe hn users who claim to be from argentina or somewhere near, that's it. If I see one such comment, it might still be misleading but If it is tens of such people, it would be legit enough to believe.
- riffraff 2y agoYou can't measure inflation via comments, cause inflation is a basket. People can say they see no change in prices because they don't buy everything in the basket, or the opposite. For example, inflation where I live is ~10% but eggs have doubled in price in one year. It's not that the statistics office lies, it's just considering more things, and e.g. public transport had 0% inflation.
