Do you understand what the overall inflation figure means though? You can’t just say “no, that figure about overall inflation in the economy isn’t true, my double whopper supreme is way more than that!!”

Wasn’t Lemmy supposed to be the somewhat “smarter” Reddit where people had taken a basic stats class at some point in their life? I just really don’t get this thinking.

🤔 Oh, I get it. You're one of "those types." The type that'll find any way to dispute anything that tells us something is wrong.

As if the overall inflation figure and other obscure, arcane bullshit changes the fact that a McChicken tripled in price, which is something that deeply and demonstrably affects ALL of our lives whether we eat fast food or not.

No just one side tends to have very complex figures backed by large independent teams of experts in the field and the other has McChicken prices and vibes.

If the other side had like… any real data I would be on board with it
