    Tell that to my local grocery store then. Prices have definitely not fallen there and that’s where it hurts many people the most

      iirc this is the rate of change of price not a change in price graph so as long as that little line is above zero prices rise and that’s by intent. That number going below 0 by too much for too long is generally an indication that something is very wrong.

      I haven’t taken an economics course in 2 years though so I could be wrong here
