Not really. See my post in the Mixer thread.

Latest from CPI calculator:
$100.00 in April 2021 is equal to $100.80 in May 2021 or 0.8% inflation in one month or ~9.6% inflation per year.

Interesting article and comments. What stood out the most is that the better measurement of housing, the Case Shiller, which measures the same hours year over year, is up 13% from last year.

It's weird when we can't get people to be honest about the topic of "inflation" though again yes we have a general debt (deflationary) trend.

I have never posted a single dishonest word in this forum since I
founded it in 2008.

It's weird that you're a relentless asshole, never changing.

It's weird that you've been completely full of crap since the day you
became a member of this forum, never changing.

It's good that you're posting in Mazanec's thread. The two of you
should form a club.

John, I never called you dishonest. It was because I thought you were honest about considering suicide that I did what I did. I think you are fallible (not dishonest) at least in economics (no claim about geopolitics), and that you seem very loath to admit it, however. You are not exactly lying but you do keep kicking the can down the road about your predictions of deflation not coming true yet. And if they do come true I will be the first to admit it.

** 11-Jun-2021 World View: Conversation

As I said, you two -- Cool Breeze and Mazanec -- should form a club
and keep each company, so you can "share" with one another. You can
invite Butler into your club as well.

Here's a typical conversation:

John says: 2+2=4

Butler says: 2+2=5. John got the wrong answer because of tribal
thinking.

Cool Breeze says: 2+2=5. John got the wrong answer because he's
dishonest.

Mazanec says: 2+2=5. That's the answer that God whispered in my ear.
John got the wrong answer because God doesn't whisper in John's ear.

Yet more from Charles Hugh Smith on inflation:

John, you are like someone saying that 2+2=3 when everybody's calculator is saying 2+2=4. The whole point of this thread is that you have been saying deflation for almost a generation, when the CPI has been saying inflation. And even the CPI is arguably sugarcoating the truth.
