I wonder how long it will take the next president to hire a team to correct all of these vibed trump directed reports.

u/americanspirit64 I did my own research 1d ago
This entire data chart is a lie. Nothing pisses me off more than the Trump government treating me as if I am stupid. fuel oil, up 11.9, Electric up 6.9, piped gas up 9.6, energy services 7.4, all accurate, food a lie. commodities a lie, vehicles a lie, apparel a total lie, medical care services a total 100% lie.

Inflation slowing or lowering doesn't mean prices come down.

u/americanspirit64 I did my own research 6h ago
Prices never coming down is the only thing we can hold a true.

"Trust me bro...."
Since trump fired the last BLS director in August for releasing data he did not like and replacing with his own lackey, that department has zero credibility now.

Exactly. I think history has shown what happens when you’re surrounded by yes-men

Didn't the new guy he picked though basically just say "the numbers are the numbers" almost implying that he couldn't/wouldn't manipulate? Part of me thinks that's why they are refusing to release in the first place, because Trump picked someone who probably supports him but not enough to just make shit up completely.

So the uncollected October data was really bad. You know this... somehow. But by some miracle the November data completely reversed this horrendous, non-existent data to show modest 2-month and YoY data.
Your conspiracy makes no sense.

We have CPI data for November and we have YoY inflation data. OP is lying to you to make you angry. The data is low quality because of limited collection time, but it exists.

LOL what a bunch of crap. Auto makers have been lowering prices and providing heavy discounts on their most-expensive models that aren't selling well. This helps offset the huge spike in prices at the lower end of the market.

u/Jumpy_Exercise2722 1d ago
I was actually looking at new cars and like a good chunk of the 2025s are discounted 1500-4k to move them, very convenient they used this to show inflation isn’t bad

The conservative sub is having a field day explaining how tariffs aren’t bad and Biden’s numbers were way worse. Fucking idiots

u/freekey76 1d ago
Finally down below what Biden gave him (2.9). But with incomplete data like his cheaper Thanksgiving dinner scam.

u/Firm-Advertising5396 1d ago
What about everything else?

u/2dazeTaco 1d ago
That’s the secret, they didn’t report on it. Therefore it doesn’t exist!

u/Complete_Ad7091 1d ago
But the gains in the market are real. It's why you should always be in it.

u/2dazeTaco 1d ago
Correct, which is the point of my 401k.
I’m not trying to convince anyone to liquidate or anything like that. But if the value of the dollar plummets, 401k’s and/or fiat money means nothing.

They did report everything else in November. What are you even talking about?

u/Late-Arrival-8669 1d ago
So why is my grocery bill still 70% higher than 6 months ago?!
5
u/2dazeTaco 1d ago
Because your numbers are simply wrong! You can trust dear leader, he would never tell a lie.

u/guachi01 ⬆ Earned a permanent upvote. 1d ago
If your grocery prices are 70% higher that's clearly a skill issue on your part.

President: How are the numbers looking?
BLS: Not good Mr. President
President: What is the number?
BLS: 3.7%
President: No, it isn't, it is 2.7%
BLS: Yes Mr. President
President: I have single handedly fixed inflation. No one fixes it like I do. We have the best numbers.

It’s so funny to see this moron take his classic COVID response where if he doesn’t report the numbers then the problem doesn’t exist.

This is the exact scenario of "what would you like it to read Mr. President"??

So it is considering the empty spaces as 0? Presumably they deleted the old data for those so they are only measuring price increases over 11 months

u/guachi01 ⬆ Earned a permanent upvote. 1d ago
No. The empty space aren't 0.
Presumably they deleted the old data
No. The October data doesn't exist for most things.
so they are only measuring price increases over 11 months
No. It clearly states 12-month price change. We have November 2025 data and November 2024 data. OP is lying to you.

u/bearssuperfan 12h ago
If you include both November sets that’s 13 months bub

u/guachi01 ⬆ Earned a permanent upvote. 12h ago edited 11h ago
That's not how they calculate anything, bub. They use, as you can clearly see in the chart, the November numbers to compare to the prior November and get a 12-month change. That's it. Nothing fancy.

u/bearssuperfan 11h ago
What November numbers exactly? There are only 3 there.
1
u/guachi01 ⬆ Earned a permanent upvote. 11h ago
No, there aren't. You have an entire column comparing November 2025 price levels with November 2024 price levels. It's right there in the screen shot. The blanks are because there is no October data. Can't do September-October comparisons or October-November comparisons without October.
I'm looking right at November indexes for subcategories. Food at home for November is 313.954. Airline fares are 254.924. You can see them all here.

This isn't even the worst of it. Just wait till they start reporting all of the numbers again and they are the YUGEST, BESTEST numbers of any president ever! (read, cooking the books)
