    Can confirm - I track grocery prices every week and the cumulative “Biden inflation” was about 17% over 4 years, or about 4% per year average. Last week was already a 15% yoy increase, and some stuff is legitimately 100% yoy already.

      It’s 100% day over day – or rather, 145% or even 170% day over day – because that’s what happens when you apply a 145 or 170% tariff to it!
