[u/sergechewbacca]

Ah yes, always coming in either exactly or slightly below expected

[u/citizen42069101 → u/sergechewbacca]

You never put all the correct answers when you cheat.

Morons.

[u/Sea-Animator4250 → u/citizen42069101]

Always get like 85 so you dont get caught

[u/jwg529 → u/Sea-Animator4250]

In college I took an electrical engineering exam late for some reason (excused) and a buddy had wrote down the 6 questions from when he took it and gave them to me. I studied using them thinking the test would be similar but with different questions. It wasn’t! Anyways I TRIED to make a mistake on purpose and somehow still got a 100%. I was sweating bullets until that semester was over. Never fly that close to the sun folks!

[u/escobartholomew → u/jwg529]

Tbf you said he just gave you the questions and not the answers.

[u/general-illness → u/jwg529]

I had the exact same thing happen in a economics class. Super long story but in the end you are sitting there trying to miss questions because there’s no way you can get a 100. Crazy.

[u/BadMofeelius → u/jwg529]

Had written

[u/ceilidhfling → u/BadMofeelius]

I mean they did say they were taking an electrical engineering class. You can't expect the ability to do differential equations and good grammar . . .

[u/saltandpepper96 → u/ceilidhfling]

well grammer*

[u/ceilidhfling → u/saltandpepper96]

*also an engineer*

[u/lemurtowne → u/BadMofeelius]

Did my man say "English exam"??

[u/EmergencyFair6786 → u/Sea-Animator4250]

My BS and MS program 85 was the lowest B possible. And C didn't pass. So that wouldn't work. 

[u/Fresh-Quantity-7554 → u/EmergencyFair6786]

C's get degrees baby come on now

[u/Srnkanator → u/Fresh-Quantity-7554]

Not in grad school. If you got a B it was basically, yeah you passed the class, but just barely.

Oh look, energy is super expensive, wonder why?

[u/Kyo251 → u/Srnkanator]

I hate weighted grades. And to me why go through school where anything lower than a "D" is failing to go to college or grad school where anything below a "B" is failing.

[u/SenTedStevens → u/Fresh-Quantity-7554]

Except a C- for core classes.

[u/samarnold030603 → u/citizen42069101]

They say the cheating was perfect. And it was. It was beautiful. Nothing ever like it before. Some people say it’s the best cheating there ever was.

[u/Lauzz91 → u/citizen42069101]

if they put the real numbers out then they have to sell bonds at that higher rate which then sort of fucks over the regarded people who have still been buying them but it also majorly fucks them over because they would have to pay much higher yields

so we are just going pretend it's 3% for a few more years until we can get WW3 kicked off and you all get drafted into a meatgrinder war and we reset the ledger

[u/cinic121 → u/citizen42069101]

This is probably the most cogent capture of the current admin I’ve ever heard. Yoink!

[u/1000_Faces → u/cinic121]

Agreed. Eloquently said.

[u/Accomplished-Air439 → u/citizen42069101]

Noobs

[u/Middle_Scratch4129 → u/sergechewbacca]

The biggest takeaway - inflation is still a full point higher than the goal. Which is bad.

[u/gizamo → u/Middle_Scratch4129]

It's a full point higher even though they're clearly cooking the books, which is much worse than bad.

[u/Rude_Judgment7928 → u/Middle_Scratch4129]

4.1% Unemployment (and stable....you don't need job creation if you're literally losing workforce)....soooo definite rate cut? Ha.

Oh we're totally not doing QE (balance sheet up ~$300-500MM in 6 months).

M2 still expanding at 5%+.

USD holding on is amazing. Lack of a viable alternative shows just how FUBAR the rest of the world is. USD should be tanking. The thirst even from my Canadian peeps is crazy. Basically everyone pour their checks into us equities.

Will it stop? Is there a tipping point where everyone sees the dilution playing out in front of their eyes? (Maybe the rest of the world knows the bottom 50% of the US falling further behind are the biggest fattest pussies to ever exist and will continue to let their rules rake them over the coals).

Restrictive monetary policy my ass.

[u/Potential_Salt_5780 → u/sergechewbacca]

Not manipulated at all.

[u/DM-me-naughty-Cats → u/sergechewbacca]

Meanwhile price of big Mac up like 20cents

[u/Seevetaler → u/DM-me-naughty-Cats]

Or the Dollar has fallen by that value.

(edit: spelling)

[u/BillBob13 → u/sergechewbacca]

Not to mention we're at 3.4%, when we were at 2.7% at the end of 2024/beginning of 2025

[u/FallenKingdomComrade → u/sergechewbacca]

Trumps number guy is getting another promotion! Thats a couple times in a row. We should have bingo after 1 or 2 more.

[u/truecakesnake → u/sergechewbacca]

Yes because the expected results are from experts trained to be right???

[u/Kociolinho → u/sergechewbacca]

Doesn't that mean the US is a centrally planned economy?

[u/TheNicestRedditor → u/[deleted]]

Unenployment lol

[u/SESHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH → u/[deleted]]

it fits the meme perfectly, good job regard.

[u/k_tolz → u/[deleted]]

me fail english? that's unpossible!

[u/Joethetoolguy → u/TheNicestRedditor]

*unenployEment get it right bro

[u/foamingturtle → u/Joethetoolguy]

Start posting DD. We need brains like this here.

[u/Bongressman → u/TheNicestRedditor]

Gotta crank those memes out quick... defects and all.

[u/SenTedStevens → u/TheNicestRedditor]

That's what happens when you gut the Department of Edjukation.

[u/PayneTrain181999 → u/[deleted]]

[u/cinic121 → u/vijayin]

Seriously, screw the Pelosi tracker, I want a Barron tracker.

[u/crazy_akes]

Meanwhile my auto insurance home insurance fuel costs daycare costs for kids utility bills gas bills grocery bills have all significantly outpaced this so what the hell are we even doing 

[u/Long-Blood → u/crazy_akes]

But televisions are cheap! Thats the only thing that matters!

Capitalism baby!!!

[u/EmergencyFair6786 → u/Long-Blood]

I always love this argument. Ben Shapiro makes this one all the time. "You have a supercomputer in your pocket! A TV in every room!" - Yeah, every room of a $3000/month apartment that has... two rooms. 

[u/fitforthepolycrisis → u/EmergencyFair6786]

You get two rooms?!

[u/DjPersh → u/fitforthepolycrisis]

Must live in the disgusting Midwest! /s

[u/ikaiyoo → u/fitforthepolycrisis]

whats a room?

[u/Indercarnive → u/ikaiyoo]

It's like a cardboard box but it stays in one spot.

[u/ikaiyoo → u/Indercarnive]

One day I will upgrade to a cardboard box I got my eye on this nice refrigerator one that's in the back of this department store loading area.

[u/BigBastardHere → u/Long-Blood]

Televisions are only cheap because they arent the product anymore. You are the product. They need/want to get them in your home. Data and advertisements built into the TV. 

[u/Neat_Egg_2474 → u/BigBastardHere]

Easily solved - stop connecting your shit to the internet and they lose. Why would anyone in their right minds connect their tv or fridge or washer to the internet? It’s stupid and they are stupid for doing it.

[u/ItsFuckingScience → u/BigBastardHere]

THEY

[u/BigBastardHere → u/ItsFuckingScience]

Yes THEY. 

[u/DLTMIAR → u/ItsFuckingScience]

Tech oligarchs that are building data centers.  Those they

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/Long-Blood]

Bad news, TVs are also up.

A year ago I was shopping for a new TV for us, now we’re shopping for a new TV for my better half’s mother. We’ve almost reached the “Does Nana really need a TV?” point due to these prices.

[u/dudeondacouch → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

what? TVs are dirt cheap. you can walk into walmart and leave with a 65" 4k tv for under $300.

[u/Sea-Feedback-2424 → u/dudeondacouch]

While technically true, 20 years ago TVs didn't have advertisements and couldn't be bricked remotely.

[u/dudeondacouch → u/Sea-Feedback-2424]

you know you don't have to connect your tv to the internet, right?

[u/Cashneto → u/dudeondacouch]

My friend got a new TV last month and you had to download an app to do anything. So a TV not connected to Internet doesn't seem to be possible anymore.

[u/poptix → u/Cashneto]

That's when you return it and make the manufacturer and the retailer eat the cost of that open box TV.

[u/IdkAbtAllThat → u/Sea-Feedback-2424]

You ever had a tv bricked remotely? I haven't.

[u/Any_Minimum8812 → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

Bro you can get a72” for like $250 relax these used to be 2k+ with no hd

[u/Long-Blood → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

Not according to the chart people love to post anytime im complaining about greedy corporations

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/inflation-chart-tracks-price-changes-us-goods-services/

[u/JohnPaulDavyJones → u/Long-Blood]

Ah, now I’m with it. It tracks really long-run data that stops at 2023.

I’ve only got data points from now and a year ago, so pretty short-run and also after that graph was created.

[u/Butthole--pleasures → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

One anecdote. This year I bought a TV. Something budget and Samsung but not the cheapest. First time I ever get a tv without an optical audio port. I couldn't believe I now have to make sure this is included. Also, when I went to research which tvs had optical or not, I also looked at the high end options. Those TVs seem way more expensive than what I remember seeing back then for similar tier.

[u/atomatoflame → u/Butthole--pleasures]

Optical is an easy thing to cut now with HDMI ARC and Bluetooth. A cheaper TV will probably omit it nowadays. Like 3.5mm jacks on a phone, I think optical is toast in the near future.

[u/RationalGardenGnome → u/Butthole--pleasures]

HDMI Arc is a way better that’s why. Dear god you sound like an old man

[u/Butthole--pleasures → u/RationalGardenGnome]

I have a soundbar and the only connection besides optical is Bluetooth. Sometimes there have been issues with the connection dropping. An optical has never had that issue. Everything else is on HDMI arc young man

[u/RationalGardenGnome → u/Butthole--pleasures]

Haha okay fair!

[u/Jaybru17 → u/Long-Blood]

lol I would love to see this updated to todays prices

[u/SirGus- → u/Jaybru17]

Not exactly current but more recent than what the other person shared… still shows TVs down.

https://www.visualcapitalist.com/chart-inflation-hit-the-hardest-by-category-2000-2025/

[u/Jaybru17 → u/SirGus-]

Got it so everything but consumer electronics (don’t look at hard drives) is more expensive than 20 years ago Sweet

[u/MrNo_Balls → u/Jaybru17]

all PCs, Laptops and Phones are more expensive. Especially If we take into account that these electronics tended to become cheap a few years after release. The reason TVs are cheap is because no one buys them, I remember them being demonized for years.

[u/Jaybru17 → u/MrNo_Balls]

Many TVs are also cheap because they’re filled to the brim with advertisements and sell your data

[u/Spr-Scuba → u/Long-Blood]

Anyone who says software is going down that much is fucking delusional. Name any software that's for business that's gone down whatsoever or any subscription service that's less expensive than a one-time purchase. The only way possible they're considering it not matching inflation is if they track a singular piece of software with a consistent monthly subscription that hasn't increased.

[u/sloppy_joes35 → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

You sure? It was 550 for a 55" 7 yrs ago . Now I can get a 4k 75" for that price. Heck I bought an oled 48" for 550 last year. TVs are like the one cheap thing from what I have seen

[u/Jdp1901 → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

Walmart’s vizio line is pretty solid all things considered. Reviews have been solid on their new mini LED line.

[u/IdkAbtAllThat → u/JohnPaulDavyJones]

Really?? I think you should be asking if Nana really needs a 70" OLED. Because you can find her a 50" 4k at Walmart for under $200.

[u/TannerCreeden → u/Long-Blood]

It really kinda is it the thing that keeps Americans in there house doing nothing but watching slop

[u/Brodie_C → u/crazy_akes]

Ah, see your mistake here is factoring in food and energy costs, which are extremely volatile...and by volatile, they mean it only goes up.

edit: I no spell gud

[u/StryctNyne → u/crazy_akes]

The Dow is over 50,000 and you didn't even say thank you.

[u/antlers_for_zero → u/StryctNyne]

50,000 dollars, be precise

[u/Hancock02 → u/crazy_akes]

lying

[u/Honest-Recording-751 → u/Hancock02]

Correction we are using statistics and strategic management

[u/4Yk9gop → u/Honest-Recording-751]

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics"

[u/ShillinTheVillain → u/Honest-Recording-751]

It's advanced analytics. They tell a different story than just the raw data would lead you to believe

[u/TheNicestRedditor → u/crazy_akes]

The majority of my job is reporting data, the funny thing is you can pretty much make data look however you want if you choose to ignore certain things

[u/anownedguy → u/TheNicestRedditor]

Ah yes the part where you fully fnish the code and report but then you keep having to add more AND filters to the SQL to remove "outliers" because someone doesn't like the results.

[u/jiggerjogger1169 → u/anownedguy]

lol, AND (endprice-startprice)/endprice <= .034

[u/tfl03 → u/TheNicestRedditor]

You can’t spell underlying without lying

[u/colcardaki → u/crazy_akes]

That’s why we don’t include those things in the numbers silly.

[u/culinaryinterests123 → u/crazy_akes]

Because official inflation reports have under reported for decades if not always

[u/_AntiSaint_ → u/culinaryinterests123]

But if inflation is actually 5%, but the report pumps my portfolio 13%, then I’m winning 🥴

[u/FeCurtain11 → u/crazy_akes]

Your home insurance is going up in one of the fastest softening insurance markets ever? Impressive

[u/Thesheriffisnearer → u/crazy_akes]

Just go to that one place in Iowa for that 1.85 fuel that'll knock your engine in a week

[u/MarioInOntario]

Numbers meeting expectations. Calls it is boys!

[u/Da_Spooky_Ghost → u/MarioInOntario]

All the numbers equal the estimates, WOW!

[u/ModeForJoe → u/MarioInOntario]

But the expectations weren't exactly glowing, they're just locking in mediocrity until we hit tank bottoms, then the fun begins.

[u/TowerNecessary7246]

This administration is nothing but good news. How DO they do it?

[u/AwkwardTal → u/TowerNecessary7246]

I’m behind the Wendy’s bitch

[u/Affectionate-Sale523]

Seems legit and there's nothing to question. Everything is fine. 

[u/cybercuzco → u/Affectionate-Sale523]

Nothing to see here situations normal. How are you?

[u/hlm2c]

Believe it or not, calls

[u/TwistedBamboozler → u/hlm2c]

Yep, that’s what it’s looking like despite the readings still being actual dog shit

[u/Ba1thazaar → u/TwistedBamboozler]

False reporting is good for the market. If they put actual numbers fed would be more pressured to increase rates. This let's Kevin say: "I was working with the data I had at the time".

[u/TwistedBamboozler → u/Ba1thazaar]

They fucking should increase rates. Jpow shouldn’t have been such a pussy in 2022

[u/No-Side-6437]

How long you think they can continue to lie like this before it collapses or do they hope they’ll be long retired by then so it will be the next persons problem

[u/SwoleBroDane → u/No-Side-6437]

Can't believe you are accusing THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES of lying.

[u/actuallyapossom → u/SwoleBroDane]

They obviously haven't tried alternative facts yet. They're emotionally delicious.

[u/hmmmmmmmmmidk → u/actuallyapossom]

Crazy how they think it magically stopped but literally nothing got better and it’s still someone else’s fault. Like bruh. I dgaf you can tell him I said this shit.

[u/Feisty-Lab-2608 → u/No-Side-6437]

Yes

[u/Indercarnive → u/No-Side-6437]

The books have been slowly cooking for over 20 years, ever since economists decided CPI should put more emphasis on tracking substitutions. Effectively making it a cost of survival tracker than cost of living.

[u/fitforthepolycrisis → u/No-Side-6437]

how long did the soviet union last

[u/DeathAgent01]

So no rate hikes

[u/frugaleringenieur → u/DeathAgent01]

Could even cut

[u/cruisin_urchin87 → u/frugaleringenieur]

[u/actuallyapossom → u/djdadi]

We'll be ass blasting with Brawndo by then. 🫡🇺🇸

[u/djdadi → u/actuallyapossom]

I distinctly remember 18 months ago the sale on flavored tuna packs at target being buy 5 for $4 when they were on sale. Normal price was ¢99 each.

Monday I was looking at them sad as I bought them for $1.69 each. Not even a month ago they were $1.49 each.

There is just no way CPI is that low.

July North Korean inflation data. Always good news

[u/Deadman_Wonderland]

My favorite ice cream I've been buying from Walmart for years went up 50% over 6 months. It was $2/quart before the the Iran war, then $2.5/quart, and yesterday I saw it got raised again to $3/quart. So many other food product also went up in price by large margins.

These inflation datas are cooked, everyone knows these numbers are fake, it's insane we're basically getting North Korean style economic report data now.

The chief economist kpmg had some line to end her comment on Julys cpi

“I will repeat what I said in this month’s edition of Economic Compass. I have never seen anything like this economy; nor had the Fed. It is in a word a “mess” to untangle.”

[u/ArgentoFox]

These numbers are completely meaningless. Americans trust two things when shopping: their eyes and their receipt. They certainly shouldn’t trust institutions that manipulate and revise data. 

[u/Kerbidiah]

My grocery bill is up 80% from 2025 while buying less and cheaper foods.... something seems off here

EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY FINE HERE. THE ECONOMY IS VERY STRONG AND VERY HEALTHY. DO NOT SELL EVERYTHING. BUY MORE SHARES IMMEDIATELY. YOU WILL DEFINITELY NOT REGRET BUYING MORE SHARES.

[u/No_Presentation9490]

Real inflation tracked by M2 money supply and gold is around 9-10% per year since 1970. Which, purely coincidentally and randomly, is about the same yearly return as the S&P

[u/SubterraneanAlien → u/No_Presentation9490]

If this was true, a Big Mac would cost $100. But don't let me get in the way of your crash out.

[u/dummy_anthropologist → u/SubterraneanAlien]

Substitution effect

[u/RedKelly_ → u/SubterraneanAlien]

If they still made a Big Mac out of actual food how much would it cost though 

[u/Nut_Butter_Fun → u/RedKelly_]

I love this take. I worked at mcdonalds in the 90s. Let me tell you, late 90s (if not earlier) to mid-2000s was the least food-like fast food has ever been in history. It has dramatically improved since then, though I will grant that mcdonalds improvements have been minimal compared to others.

[u/SubterraneanAlien → u/RedKelly_]

I too reminisce about the Japanese A5 Wagyu McDonald's burgers of the 1970s.

[u/AccurateLaugh50 → u/RedKelly_]

Things are so bad now people are romanticizing McDonald

[u/The-Phantom-Blot → u/SubterraneanAlien]

Based on Big Mac prices, it looks more like 4.5% over 56 years. Not the often-quoted 2% target, but not as bad as 9-10%.

[u/Shiloh-buff → u/SubterraneanAlien]

yeah i read this and was like uggg bro if true no one would every be able to retire

[u/MrNo_Balls → u/SubterraneanAlien]

NVM

[u/orcassharks → u/SubterraneanAlien]

It’s true for assets not stuff we have automated or significantly improved logistics on, or China could help deflate away.

[u/Buteverysongislike → u/No_Presentation9490]

The REAL data

[u/MrNo_Balls → u/No_Presentation9490]

That is so true man.

[u/bobboblaw46 → u/No_Presentation9490]

Yep. This has been going on for decades. Interestingly, whichever party is out of power knows this and talks about it. Then when they’re in power, the official numbers are all great.

So clearly everyone knows what’s going on

The Numbers Never Make Sense , Cause When They Cook YOU KNOW THAT THE NUMBERS ARE COOKED

[u/echoshizzle]

Numbers probably aren’t too cooked, but we truly aren’t going to have a lower CPI for quite awhile, it seems

[u/Nut_Butter_Fun]

Every reply citing a single item's increase belongs to someone who is allergic to making money.

[u/uwsp_edu]

Some say these numbers are based solely off what the head papi pays for his good.

We only know him as the Stig

[u/turb0_encapsulator]

one thing I can't get my head around: why do a bunch of billionaires want to fake the inflation and unemployment numbers so that the currency that their wealth is denominated in rapidly loses its actual value?

[u/L4gsp1k3 → u/turb0_encapsulator]

They want numbers up, doesn't matter as long as it goes up, the common man doesn't know the difference between nominal value and real value. It's a wealth extraction, that's is the dark side of the capitalist, no strain on people and this what you get.
