Default Re: X Post: My thoughts on the coming dollar collapse

Boro,

I agree CPI and Core are both statistical swindles. The macro effect of these swindles is lower wage growth in the blue-collar brackets.

Employers cite the authority of gov't-generated stats, to rationalize low-to-no annual increase in wages. This creates a huge latency between real inflation and resulting wage pressure.

Employers love the CPI and Core numbers. (Especially Core)
