@dotkrueger Yupp he sure is!
99% of non-US people (and probably 49% of US folks too) would agree.
Now wether he actually succeeds in destroying the brand remains to be seen.
Let him work on it for another couple of months...then the damage may be permanent :-(
@scottmelker Another stupid & populistic statement from your president!
So do you agree Scott? Did practically EVERY country take advantage of the US?
Take Leshoto as an example. Did they take (unjust ) advantage of the US?
If so,-how did they use their power position to achieve that?
@ShardiB2 It's sad to see from the outside of the US how your elected leader/leadership executes. This results in a for us total random/short-term rule set.
How can we plan/execute on our own individual future success under this?
Hi Pomp
Having good & correct inflation numbers is crucial for taking the right decisions on interest rates. So is Truflation more accurate that the official CPI?
I asked Grok to compare historically and here is what Grok gave:
The indexes correlate rally well up until Nov. 2024.
After November, the indexes diverge dramatically with Truflation showing much lower inflation since then. (November 2024 also happens to be when Donald T was elected...)
Methodology-wise, from my understanding, Truflation and CPI accuracy should correlate but Truflation will lead CPI in range of 45 days. But now the difference in Inflation is in this table persistent over last half year
My question: Is the CPI numbers or the Truflation numbers, intentionally or for a purpose, being manipulated/skewed since the election?
So: In your mind Pomp,-which numbers currently reflects the April/March 2025 inflation? CPI or Truflation? And why do you think so?

@scottmelker Kind of agree @scottmelker but the facts are still out there :-p
We have slowly & unfortunately been sliding from the Information Age into the Disinformation/misinformation/Mal-information age :-o
Extremely difficult to distinguish the signal/facts from the noise these days.
