US Inflation

Not to stir up the hornets nest... but this inflation is wild.
The Consumer Price Index has gone up so much it is insane. (CPI is basically the calculation for the spending power of a US dollar.)

I highly recommend going and calculating your income from the beginning of 2021 vs what it should be now due to inflation.
Here is an example of what that would look like. I used $35 per hour because I thought that was probably a good square number that is reasonable for a programmers salary.



Here is the link to the calculator from the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.

  • Better watch out or the Ministry of Truth will shut down your digital currency bank account and disable your electric car.


    You must have missed the news yesterday. The Ministry of Truth has been put on hold and their leaded resigned. Apparently "excessive disinformation" about her and the entire thing has caused the Biden Admin to put a pause to the whole thing. So, the group created to fight disinformation, was taken down by disinformation. That's like the new definition of irony.
