We're now measuring inflation in inches, since every other metric shows recession.
But at least even President Biden said inflation was up. Now we just need to get Seran on the same page.

Wow, oil opened with a mighty whimper this morning, crashing $5.00 after the bell and sitting just over the $78 mark. Between the inventory report showing unexpected inventory growth, additional large Fed rate action meant to curb inflation and Europe renewing their nuclear energy commitments, all combined with ongoing demand destruction here in the US. Hope this downward trend continues.
