[–] Not_Alec_Baldwin@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Are you suggesting that the amount a person spends on housing doesn't impact their purchasing power? No wonder you don't think it's declining. Rent has jumped by 100-200% every 20 years since the Great Depression. Companies have started shifting to shrinkflation because they realized that raising their prices was so unpopular with their consumers. All of these things need to be considered and don't get measured by CPI. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] huge_clock@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Housing costs are included in CPI. What I’m saying is i agree with the current methodology. Do you know what the current methodology is? It does make sense. permalink fedilink source parent
