I read yesterday that the official "Inflation Rate" was up to 3.1% this year.
Really? Despite home prices being up by 20%, meat prices increasing by 100%, most food prices being up at least by an additional 50%, electricity prices increasing, gasoline prices nearly 50% higher, insurance rates climbing, restaurant prices up by 50%, etc... .
From a seat-of-pants feel... it seems like the inflation rate is really up by at least 15% to 20% this year, possibly higher. Nearly everything I do on a normal basis has increased in cost by at least 30%.
Still... the Federal Government thinks inflation is only 3.1%.
Maybe they've been sniffing the vax.
