Nigger, they provide the formulae for those numbers on that website. They are the official numbers and the are simply used to compare the costs of specific items over time, yac dumb that. They manipulate those numbers by changing what they price, but changes are noted. Inflation is down 35% since Trump took office despite fucking idiots believing that these tariffs would cause Inflation to spike.
Inflation can be caused by more than just money supply expansion. There are lots of reasons to raise prices. Tarrifs on countries exploiting labor and their people to gain economic advantage isn't usually one of them.
