Cao Ni Ma posted:Yeah I've said the same thing in the US where the food inflation is being tracked as lower. Oh yeah bread is 50% more expensive and rice and the meats are like 20-30% more, keep tracking inflation at like 10% or something. Official inflation numbers have all kinds assumptions baked in to determine the relative weighting of different components and the end result is that you'll never see anything like the official value if you just pay attention to your own spending. Official CPI values say that $120 now has the same buying power as $100 in 2019 and that's just clearly, blatantly bullshit and anyone who tracks their spending/budget in detail can see it. The reason you have idiot economists talking about artisanal inflation values is because it's all just choose your own adventure bullshit. Economists and policymakers are lying by implying that our data on this poo poo is at all reliable.

iirc, food inflation is heavily discounted because it is assumed food consumption is fixed; you can't eat less food than it takes to survive so your consumption will always have to keep pace with rising prices. no choice = no inflation. this is what I remember at least

"Luxury" apartment just means anything that was built or renovated in the last ten years (renovated just means someone put in LVP)

Out of curiosity, what happen to credit cards issued from a bank that goes under? I know that loans are considered assets and would end up being sold to somewhere else, but does that also apply to credit cards?

It's luxury because it's expensive. You have the luxury of paying $2600/mo for a 2 bedroom.

"Luxury" is code for "we don't take section 8". It's a class signifier.
