The grocery price hikes from a few years ago never came back down - seems pretty sticky to me

I have a question. How do economists model things like “well, beef is really high, so we’re having pork and chicken for a while”

Can you talk about how universal healthcare could possible affect inflation/deflation. Would salaries rise at a slower pace without the pressure of private payer? Would having more money to spend lead to rapid inflation?

I thought I had a general idea why we have the 2 metrics, but I really appreciate the further context. I didn’t think about the “what can the fed can do about it” angle

yeah, but there's a problem with this even beyond the inelastic demand. the companies that are producing food especially are abusing that dynamic so that they never have to reduce the prices of food. every company I see is mentioning in their quarterly reports that they're raising prices and customers are tolerating it... even if that is a fundamental misreading of what's going on.

Love the video. One suggestion: If you use a paper visual, try using the mirrored filter so it shows normally on screen. Thank you for all of your hard work. Go Phils. 🔔💙

The unfortunate side effect of not teaching macro economics in HS is the lack of basic or simple core principles, ideas, and the realities of the greater economic world. The foundation is missing or diminished and creates a misunderstanding of more complex macro economics. I hope they keep listening and picking up what you are putting down. It's good stuff!

I think another interesting thing to look at is the fact that corporate profit has contributed much more significantly to CPI since Covid, then it ever did before. Additionally, shrink inflation is not taken into account in CPI.

We shouldnt have for profit companies for industries with perfectly inelastic or very inelastic goods/services. Its crazy its even debated.

So why dont you talk about budget deficits!!! That’s what causes inflation, period!!! The only way to control inflation with large budget deficits is high interest rates!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I think I follow you. So why is it that prices go back down mostly, but not all the way? $3 gas used to be catastrophically high. Now it’s still high, but not nearly as dramatically. People getting used to the higher price? Wage increases to balance it out?
