taking their time

it argues the merits of the adjustments but ASSUMES they can actual quantify something concisely that contains a massive about of uncertainty

fact: my mortgage was 15x what a family with half my income could comfortably afford before i bought it

my parents could live comfortably on a few hunderd dollars per month

the purchasing power per dollar has been dramatically reduced however the metrics don't consider a 'per unit' approach

yeah thats the major flaw in alot of economic interpretations these days

yeah, i know

The only uncertainty I see is the fact it may take years for commodity fluctuations to catch up with the CPI.

you see them try sometimes but once you do any digging they allways do something autistic like base it on some arbitrary/global scale

You just referenced inflation again.

input --> blackbox --> output; per unit approach examines the ratios of each per operation of the same black box; i.e. what it took to live comfortably in 1950 vs 2019 scaled to a single $1

that is nOT the 'only uncertainty'

i believe godman is distinguishing between price of good inflation and injection inflation

that entire statement is as alarming as saying 'causality is like correlation'

If you guys want to earn big money

no it certainly is not

get into developing AR apps

AR is the next big thing for investors

augmented reality right?

yes @Kealor, and the fact that the nature of 'uncertainty' is that you can't account for all the possible things you might be overlooking

Yeah. Most of my clients are buying up loads of companies who make AR Apps

I think Google and Apple are coming out with AR glasses

eh boomers investing in the wrong places

you are right actually

AR for day trading?

BIG oppurtunities

AR will either be a fake meme or destabilize the world so hard that investments wont even matter lol

Yeah developing and investing

boomers rise up

Minecraft AR is going to be very bid

we are alrady there

big*

✊🏿

but if you want to make a buck off of boomers then yup thatll work 👍

ever consider @Kealor that the new trading bots actually CREATE their own market force

>harambe memes

they move the market so quickly, they end up acting on the impacts of their own actions

trading bots really should make everyone sweat alot more

@ManAnimal, I never said fluctuations in commodity prices was the only influencer of the CPI, rather I said it causes uncertainty because the fluctuations in commodity pricing will take years to be reflected in the CPI. Clearly, inflation is given its due, but it is accurately accounted for, if you examine their current methodology. I don't know what else to tell you, except to go to the BLS and examine it yourself.

rather than an actual change in market value
