Normal inflation levels are about 2%

Food at home is up 3% over the course of the year. There is actually deflation in dairy products -- but there is 8% inflation on meat eggs and poultry. At least part of this is due to supply chain issues. We are actually in a bit of shipping crisis -- but the elites think its too boring and technical of a story for most people.

Rent is up 3.2%. Rent is expensive but this is hardly something new caused by the pandemic or the response. I'm not going to bother getting numbers on college, because its the same story.

Energy is clearly the big source of recent inflation.
