Why has inflation collapsed? The gov’t stopped reporting the data in Oct./Nov. That the media isn’t focused on this shame of a report is amazing. It’s actually quite funny. They are literally only reporting gas prices/car prices. Food + shelter + healthcare + etc.? Missing. pic.twitter.com/zbmlAIgfON
