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'

So, the Mainstream media has in lock step with no dissention with all the Ivy league economists proclaimed that Trump's tariffs are inflationary.

Lemme tell ya a secret, that shit's pure crap.

Raising taxes is disinflationary, Lowering taxes is inflationary.

... and, yes, 'X' still won't give me an account.

Patrick says
" https://billricejr.substack.com/p/mcflation
The price of the McChicken sandwich increased the most - from $1.00 in
2014 to $2.99 in 2024 - a price increase of 199 percent."

The price increase is actually 300 percent... or are they perhaps using
a different basis for this calculation?
