PPI (wholesale prices) up 0.9% in July, highest jump in three years.

Nope, nope, nope. Fake stats. The trustworth Trump administration will shortly issue the correct figures. Something like -1200%.

I came here specifically to drop that tidbit if nobody else had.

My expectation is the inflation will be hidden by shrinkflation wherever possible, and actual price increases blamed on Biden.

Sounds about right.

Also expect that if and when the rate of inflation starts to drop it'll be pitched as a reduction in prices as opposed to a drop in the rate at which prices are rising.
