It was just announced yesterday that inflation is up 3.3%.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk -2 points 1 day ago

Still not 60% as per OPs example.

I know, but it's the true inflation rate, and I want to make sure EVERYBODY sees it, especially MAGA Nazis.

3.3% this month, up from 2.7% last month. Great job HitlerPig.

Ops example would show 31%, if it was statistically significant at all.

We're both wrong.

$16\lb ÷ $11\lb is 1.4545 or 145.5%. 45.5% inflation.

My mistake was looking at the total price. I'm not sure what yours was.

45% inflation over a year and a quarter (April to August of next year)

it's actually fits 3%.. PER MONTH

april '24 to august '25 is 16 months

1.03^16^ = 1.605

$49.24 * 1.6 = $78.78

It's not per month. The "published" figures per month are usually like 0.2-0.4
