How 72% inflation looks like
0%
Sodastream has changed their bottle design to look bigger on the
outside, and at the same price, but there's less in the bottle and
it's diluted. Net result, 29 portions instead of 50 portions, which
is 72% inflation. As far as the Bureau of Lies and Statistics is
concerned though, it's 0% inflation, because the price hasn't
changed. If inflation really is 0%, I'd be happy for the Fed to pay
the difference between last years and current costs for my utility
bills, cable bill, healthcare, property tax, grocery bill, etc.,
since according to them it's zero.
