Next year I wager once we break below $3588, we don’t make it back above.

IF July 2022 CPI should use 1980-based CPI calculation…
“July real-CPI = 18%
1980 real-CPI = 15%
1) July 2022 real-CPI is higher than 1980 CPI if using the same formula
2) July real-CPI is highest since 1950”
CPI inflation rate is calculated as the year-over-year CPI percent change
July CPI = June-CPI 2022 over June 2021 % change
if we display the CPI absolute value from 1950 to 2022
the chart would be terrifying approaching 300 as shown below🔥🔥🔥
