Good news, comrades! Your inflation ration for April decreased for the first time in a year — but only if you compare it to last April’s “unexpectedly” high inflation rate.
The Wall Street Journal, where people used to go for better financial reporting than this, parroted the Fed’s shaky claim that consumer price increases “decelerated slightly in April.”
If I had a GIF of someone looking down into their empty wallet and then looking back up with a total “What the hell?” expression on their face, I’d post it right here.
