@Diogenese_Shiplap @sickburnbro What's interesting is that PPI has long been the 'official' litmus test for inflation, but it's not lined up with consumers. There should be some elasticity between consumer price and producer price, and historically a lot of companies worked on tightening margins or changing supply or other cost cutting to up both without hitting end user cost. The last few years have been a big middle finger to that, with some producers (e.g. fast food) doing massive increases in their end user costs for margin increases. McDonald's is now profiting like crazy on their food instead of volume requirements, but it's too bad it still sucks ass.
