yup, it’s all an optics thing.
imagine the chaos that would ensue if governments admitted “prices have risen a cumulative 69,420% in the last 100 years”
i wouldn’t be surprised to see a push towards citing monthly inflation numbers instead of annual ones simply because they appear smaller.

They will totally try that. Just a matter of time.
I laughed out loud when I heard Trump say the other day that inflation wasn't a problem when he was in charge... think about that for a second. And people follow these clowns.
