MODERATORS
their copium now is that its going up at a slower pace
not the prices itself but that rise of prices is going up slower ( 289.4% in May compared to 287.9% in April).
Nerds love second order derivative arguments.
"It's still increasing but the rate at which it's increasing is going down"

Nixon made a similar argument once. It’s the 3rd derivative since inflation is the first derivative of a currency’s buying power.
