one brick at a time we are building a new understanding of what's real, and what's not. Virtually all our institutions - certainly gov't, news and media, corporations, academia/education and churches - are now doing the bidding of their left/progressive masters. If we only had one of these in our corner, only one, this election wouldn't even be debatable. Thankfully some of the states are bucking the trend.
“Gaslight” is indeed the word. Who do they think they’re fooling? Half the country is onto their lies and manipulations. Most people in the grocery store are looking at their shopping lists trying to decide which expensive items they can do without, just like during the Great Depression.
Keep doing the accurate calculations that expose the true picture, Peter. Thank you!
I worked for the government for five years in a different capacity and I can tell you 100% they do not know how to do math. It's ridiculous.
So the people that actually do have stated the inflation rate is around 36 to 38%. I would totally agree with that. Just pull out your bills and look at the difference and you do the math. That's the only way it's gonna be correct.
The other thing as far as food, they've lost their minds. There's a few things that I used to buy that have gone up almost 400%
2% 3% 8% no all those numbers are completely wrong. Let's hope after all the votes are counted tomorrow that there's gonna be a change because if there's not gonna be a change, there's gonna be a war.
What gets omitted from most media narratives on inflation is "year on year". When they say inflation rose 2%, 8%, 9%, they mean that it's that much higher than it was 12 months ago.
One reason I use indexing with some frequency is that when you index to a base period, the indexed values are always the aggregate percent increase (+ 100).
It's not that the 8% figure is "wrong", but it's being wrongly presented and wrongly used.
exactly! I'm not saying it'syou. I'm saying it's the government- they don't know how to do math. They don't know how to do a lot of things. like I said, hopefully that's gonna be changing 🙏 ... works both ways with both sides.
Good conversation. I actually think the government chooses which numbers to use to manipulate the data so they can present a squiggly picture thus trying to make us believe their interpretation. I guess that’s gas lighting, but I don’t think they’re stupid, I think we’re stupid to just take their numbers. The media are swamp rats salivating at the “fax machine” as the newest narrative rolls out. This is why they’re dying and independent journalists like Peter are growing at record clip and hopefully thriving. Thanks!
The major reason I publish All Facts Matter is to push back against some of this nonsense. Show people what the numbers mean and how to use them properly.
Peter, you do a great job of that. Thank you so much because you're right people don't know and they just believe what they see without the proof.. not me

Well, hopefully what I am putting out about these issues is helping inform people about what is real.
As you say, one brick at a time. One topic at a time. One article at a time for me!

And I'll be right there in the front line!

We're on the same page.

They know in their gut. Let’s hope they follow their instincts because it’s not working now so it has change - fast!
Thanks!
