NPR news intro: “inflation is dropping, why aren’t prices?”
@David_Boaz Maybe they actually explained it in the segment?
@David_Boaz NPR producers who have Ivy League degrees but somehow fail to grasp basic economics...
@David_Boaz Did npr just unintentionally question the validity of the cpi 👀
@David_Boaz Can @NPR mention still high prices without first mentioning inflation is dropping?
@David_Boaz The RATE of inflation increase is dropping. Helps if you do not leave out a key word.
@David_Boaz Clickbait title: the article explains why people might ask this, and then answers the question.
@David_Boaz David’s tweet is misleading people to believe NPR doesn’t understand basic economics. The segment was produced for people to understand inflation. From the segment: “Simply put, falling inflation, or ‘disinflation,’ means prices are rising more slowly than they had been.”
