     @IAMAL_PHARIUS The CPI calculation method has changed so many times since 1980 it's hard to know what they are even trying to show on the charts anymore

     @dictatordave @jmw150 @IAMAL_PHARIUS It is true that the BLS did make some significant changes to how they are collecting and reporting prices in various regions, especially smaller cities. They did almost entirely eliminate staff at regional departments that would literally go from store to store collecting sticker prices and going door to door asking about rent prices. That can certainly affection regional inflation tracking like the twitter post says.
     
     On the otherhand, the BLS started buying cash register data from Nielsen years ago. They get car sales prices from JD Power. These aren't sticker prices, but the actual final prices paid by people since the sticker price tracking never took into account discounts or deals. They get rent data based on census surveys. They do significant web scraping for prices. The shift could simply just be officially switching to these collection methods versus the more archaic (and expensive) methods they used before.

     @jmw150 @IAMAL_PHARIUS @jobanab will a change in the reporting of inflation change the will of a company to use any excuse to increase profits?
     
     i'd suggest everyone simply find local sourcing of groceries, move on from the notion that the currency is going back to historic purchasing power and live life rather than pining for the advantages and good life the boomers were gifted

     @dictatordave @IAMAL_PHARIUS @jobanab Less of an approximation. So there would not be competing definitions of inflation to hide what is going on.

     @IAMAL_PHARIUS @jobanab @dictatordave I would take some correlation summary over dollar = x dollars of itself for inflation. But I guess that would be too abstract.

     @jmw150 @jobanab @dictatordave Me too, real terms value of the dollar over total amount printed across time. However it gives them range for manipulation. Meat and eggs go up? Throw down the weight.
     
     In 2025 they even fake job numbers only to revert them a month later to massage the market. So i dont think american cpi is worth tracking anymore
