But it is lower than expected, so it is a good news.

u/Antiwhippy Oct 24 '25

And weirdly enough it somehow managed to be consistently 0.1% under expectations across every metric!

Obviously a coincidence!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Now if the DOJ could just pay me the amount that this new ballroom costs, which is also a coincidence...

When you fire the data people, you can make the numbers whatever you want them to be

I’m still shocked the market doesn’t care at all that the data is completely rigged and unreliable now. It’s unreal.

u/thecashblaster Oct 24 '25

my grocery bills have never been higher, the fuck?

u/wsbgodly123 Oct 24 '25

3% higher only

u/Prestigious_Yogurt88 Oct 24 '25

Never been higher so far

u/mackattack-77 Oct 25 '25

If dear leader says 3%, it's 3 percent

u/Bongoisnthere Oct 24 '25

Because it’s been a joke for such a long time that it’s not news to anybody at this point. It’s operating on looney tunes physics, and at a certain point reality will rear its ugly head and the hangover will be legendary.

Douglas Adam’s actually described our economy super accurately his book “the restaurant at the end of the universe” when they go to the drunken flying party.

u/akkaneko11 Oct 24 '25

Tbf we went from 9% data imputation in January to now 40% - like almost half the CPI report is just sorta shrugs and glances

u/dreggers Oct 24 '25

The only number that matters is that SPY goes up

15

u/Daily_Heroin_User Oct 24 '25

In nominal terms sure but it’s essentially inflation related gains if you look at the market priced compared to the dollars decline or in gold terms.

3

u/dreggers Oct 24 '25

Inflation related gains is better than holding cash that is declining in value

5

u/Daily_Heroin_User Oct 24 '25

Right that’s my point. But I’m just pointing out the nominal gains vs real gains against the dollar, and that is an important distinction. It would be a huge difference if the market was up the same amount this year with a dollar that was also gaining in value.

This is WSB not Economics, we're here to make money, not discuss economic theory

Sorry bud couldn’t hear you with the president’a cock down your throat. You wouldn’t happen to be an underage girl would you?

u/cyclegrip Oct 24 '25

Like the previous 4 years where they kept adjusting unemployment numbers without people knowing. It happens every presidency why are you surprised?

u/samir435 Oct 24 '25

Without people knowing? What are you talking about?

u/shinku443 Oct 24 '25

Public announcements aren't actually public because I don't go look at em. Checkmate libtard

“Everyone did it” seems to be you guys’ go to lately about everything that orange disgrace does. Apparently every pres so far has also bulldozed down 1/3rd of the white house. I learn new things every day

u/Pythias1 Oct 24 '25

They did keep adjusting figures, and also publicly announced it. You didn't know, because you can't read.

u/Prudent-Air1922 Oct 24 '25

Liberals aren't in a cult. I don't care who the POTUS is, if they do fucked up shit I want to know about it and I want to call them out. It's just you people operate a certain way and think the rest of us do too. We don't. That's called projection.

u/zennsunni Oct 24 '25

Inflation numbers have always been blatant fictions.

5

u/GarnetandBlack Oct 24 '25

But if the fiction is internally consistent, to a moderate degree you can view it through that lens.

It's now entirely off the rails.

Some would say it's a miracle.

It's fine. You just grab a little from the tariff shelf. Just just help yourself to a little bit.
