Using words like "jumped" in headlines exactly why NPR is continuing to lose public trust. The data is super easy to find. CPI rose slightly last month, and the overall trend looks to have stabilized. I believe the FED targets for ~ 3% inflation.

- cd4plus 1y agoAm I missing something or are they reporting that prices have "jumped" because they've increased 30% since 2020? That seems like a fair use of the word.

- piva00 1y agoNPR is losing public trust because there's a concerted effort to make the American public distrust any kind of news media. You are just a victim of that, it's unfortunate because given your comment history it will be really hard for anyone on Earth to pull you out of that deep pit of distrust you fell into.
