Since we know the numbers are going to suck since Peppermint Patty is leading the Amen Corner Media to blame Putin for it:

Frankly, I prefer my spaceship to have big tits and not fake inflated ones.

EDIT - numbers drop:
America goes back to the 80s: Surging gas prices and higher rents push inflation to 41-year high of 8.5% as White House blames it on Putin invading Ukraine
The consumer price index rose 8.5% in March from a year ago, the fastest increase since December 1981
Housing costs, which make up about a third of the index, have escalated and show no signs of cooling
Gasoline prices soared 49% in March from a year ago as the war in Ukraine rocked energy markets
Biden's administration tried to get ahead of the dire inflation news by blaming Russian leader Vladimir Putin
But Republicans place the blame for soaring prices on 'Democrats' reckless spending and failed policies'

Sub sandwich no longer fits the container:


Its about $12 for a foot long meatball marinana sub at Subway in Panama City Beach. Use to be $5 in 2014, hence it increased about 11% a year in price :-/

I heard this week about the Subway CEO warning franchise owners about the survival of the company

This is from 2023: https://nypost.com/2023/08/28/subway-foot-traffic-crumbles-more-than-20-as-sandwich-maker-oks-9-6b-sale-data/

Housing Affordability Index (source data from https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/housing-statistics/housing-affordability-index)

I believe housing accounts for about 35% of Consumer Price Index (CPI)

No first-time buyers means no trade up buyers either. Prices will have to drop, or folks will have to double up to buy a house.

Annual inflation as per PCE is 2.5% as reported today. PCE has average 3% or less since October 2023.

If I was the Federal Reserve I'd not lower rates until it averages 2.25% for at least 6 consecutive months.
