Houston, we now have the start of another inflation problem. Tariffs, administrative incompetence, and climate change impacts feeding through now. ![Screenshot_20251126_115800_Samsung Internet](https://community.goactuary.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/4/24e631549dbfdb1d6d2d6a6448e4ac972e448800.jpeg) ---

I don’t know about the validity of the blue line, but the grey line in those graphs is inconsistent. Milk shows a roughly 12% wage gain over first two years, while others show none. ---

I think they are just taking the price divided by wage growth % increase since 2020. ---

Yes, but that should result in similar patterns across all items, which is not the case in these graphs. Why is there divergence in some and not others? ---

They all look to be about 20% lower, no? Edit: Oh, the end points are ~lined up, but the middle years are complete junk. ---

I assume due to the shutdown they were unable to do the October CPI report. November report is due Dec 18. ![image](https://community.goactuary.com/uploads/default/original/3X/c/b/cb51a69828d8464a4355c0e191abf3c132385e17.png) ---

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I read that they had canceled the October CPI. So it will be interesting to see how they talk about the change for the November one. ---

Apparently inflation under Biden was the worst in America’s history and affordability is a democratic party scam. [https://x.com/atrupar/status/1995899904405741809?s=19](https://x.com/atrupar/status/1995899904405741809?s=19) The 1980s called… ---

When I see that map I am reminded of this distributional calculation of taxes and tariffs: ![Screenshot_20241114_231758_Samsung Internet](https://community.goactuary.com/uploads/default/original/3X/e/a/eae1faed59e6476a115687663aca35746dbbbde8.jpeg) ---
