You mean 6.0%. That’s a claim about the precision with which economists calculated our national inflation rate. Just explain to me first what this precise number actually represents given how much is now on the line with SVB, Social Security & Taxes. Like I’m 5. And stupid. 🙏 https://t.co/Pt1od9Toqa Quoted tweet from @MarioNawfal: #BREAKING: CPI has come in at expected at 6% It was forecasted at 6% and was previously 6.4% US CPI month on month is 0.4%, it was forecasted at 0.4% and was previously 0.5% Is this a good indicator for the economy?

Q4: How much does this entire COL framework rest on the work of Erwin Diewert’s claims of superlative index numbers being exact for flexible functional forms? Q5: Were homothetic preferences assumed to get one number with this precision? On what basis was that justified?

Q6: Can we discuss this scientifically as technical people w/o derision? Why does Toto have to pull back the curtain on the Great And Powerful FED/BLS magic show? Why can’t we discuss this fake precision and conceptual framework using our best ideas & minds? Why do a magic show?

I think we are having our lives jeopardized. Everything we worked for, taxed & diluted by magic numbers produced by unaccountable technical people sheltered from our even more technical people’s questions. So, explain it to me like I’m 5. And very very stupid. Thanks in advance.

If you need a North Star to guide you, focus on the claim of *precision*. Q1: How is the “representative consumer” constructed? Q2: Which formula? Laspeyres? Lowes? Konus? Q3: Why that formula and why does the BLS claim it is within a COLA framework with ZERO preference data?

Sooner or later, some are going to have to face facts, gently move some heavily compromised octogenarians into retirement, stop pretending we can live without institutions, and just fix things. Or not. And then we’ll see. Sooner would be better. 🙏

It’s popular to pretend that we can take over from all failing systems by 3D printing our own guns, moving everything onto the blockchain, buying diesel generators, doing our own financial analysis, etc. But all that still rides on a substrate of institutions. Which are failing.
