My bad, I tried to use a logical definition of inflation in a logical country. They are definitely considered in my country.

If the biggest costs of living are not considered in the metric for cost of living increase, WTF.

I'll update my comment

Housing and groceries are part of the inflation...

Edit: seems the previous line might not apply to the US because insanity.

The real issue is that inflation only accounts hire much more things cost, but not the trend on salaries. If salaries and costs follow the same slope, you're "even". The problem is when costs increase at a faster rate than income.

Sure I'll accept I got all the details wrong. That doesn't really matter to my point.

This made me chuckle.

That's his face, I don't recall last time I've seen a non edited version of it.

Always fuck epic, but fuck Apple harder.

That there's a very narrow overlap of epic and general consumer/other devs interests doesn't make epic good.

I always wonder what compels some people to make so little effort to understand what they are replying to, but make so much effort in proving they have no idea what they are replying to. Can you explain?

Given the effect on the climate due to pollution, even rain or lack of can be explained by corporate greed

"It's not whatabautism if I don't explicitly say 'What about...'"

In any case, answering your point, the degree is very very different, so not similar at all.

Not really. If they keep the same % based on what it costs them, then it should increase by the same amount.

If they instead get the same amount (which would effectively mean reduce their margins) the final cost would be a bit less.

Happy to be corrected with some numerical example.

So if you see any price increase greater than the tariff amount, it's plain corporate greed.

Some cuts of pork are considered white under the culinary definition, but all pork is considered red meat in nutritional studies.

From Wikipedia.

Except when he said "If she wasn't my daughter".

I think this comment will age like raw milk when in 10 years Ivanka publishes her memories and shows he didn't really care she was his daughter.
