LOLOLOL Noooo, you can't read, can you? I didn't say there's hyperinflation in the US. I don't think there is and you probably don't know what the term means if you thought anyone else here was claiming it. All this is because I'm wondering why you'd be so stupid as to issue a challenge to anyone to find a single thing that doubled in price in 10 years. I even said that finding such things, as I did, doesn't prove anything about the US economy; it only proves your personal ineptitude in data interpretation.All of this because you can’t handle the fact that there isn’t hyperinflation in the U.S.
LOLOL Back to digging this hole deeper.Except no. The article doesn’t provide prices, which are provided otherwhere which show it’s a ~68%, not a ~168% increase.
1. The TITLE says there is a doubling.
2. The MacNugget is listed at an 83% increase. If they made a mistake, and not you, then that would mean that the MacNugget fell to 83% of the prices 10 years ago.
You are stupid. You cannot read data. You don't know basic math or percentages. You said that a 168% increase is less than doubling. Nobody made any mistake but you and you can never escape that fact. But being 'Murcan, you're all nonsensical excuses and never self-reflection or improvement. It's what I love to see in rival countries: clearly wrong as shit, but never admit it and never improve.
So what, the old homes increased in size? LOLOL Everyone adding that new wing to the house, eh? LOLNo. The average NEW home has not increased since 2011.
The homes being built are new homes. You're like a snake trying to eat its own ass.But NEW homes are not all homes, and even if new homes are not increasing in size, average homes still can be since homes that are destroyed are smaller than homes that are being built.
To wrap this up, I provided a chart with definitive data and you're just word-diarrheaing with imaginary scenerios. And also, you asked for 1 thing that doubled; that article provided 70. You don't get to argue that they can be diluted by lesser hit areas because you asked for 1 thing. I've found many. This isn't about a fair argument; it's about showing you how stupid your challenge is.To wrap this up - the evidence presented counts against “prices doubling in 10 years” since home sizes have increased, the list price doubled in only 70 metro areas (and these were the highest increases across all ~350ish U.S. metro areas), and thus the true inflationary effect is smaller than double.
Anyways, that's not what I said at all and we can add reading comprehension to your list of deficiencies. This is a lot just to say that you're incompetent at data interpretation, incapable of admitting your mistakes, and now, deficient at reading comprehension as well.Anyways; this was a lot just to say that there, indeed, was not 7% inflation between 2010-2020 in the United States.
Oh and you never actually provided the aggregate data needed to prove the 7% wrong. I don't know (or care) if it's 7% or not. I'm just watching you flounder around with useless random data and broken logic trying to prove something false just because you don't want it to be true.
"This one burger increased by 168%, which is the same as 68% because I hope that's what the reporter meant, and s/he said it's the biggest increase s/he has seen in the 8 restaurants s/he went to so that means that the whole of the US couldn't have went up by more than 68%." LMFAO sound like you didn't even make it through community college!
Except you can't prove it's wrong because you don't know jack about finding the right data an interpreting it. You can only imagine and use broken logic to make yourself feel better.The BLS CPI index is broadly accurate (with of course, the endless debates over laspreyes/paache indexes, weightings, hedonic indexes, etc) but it’s aside the point - price levels didn’t double between 2010 to 2020 so ShadowStats is wrong.
