    Here's some education for you.

    PPI:
    Can be an early indicator of inflation — if producers’ costs rise, consumer prices may follow.
    Useful for businesses and policymakers to anticipate cost pressures.

    Example:
    If the price of steel rises for car manufacturers, that shows up in PPI before consumers see higher car prices in CPI.

    You are completely out of your depth here. I would tone down the dorky GOOD DAY, and Educational Post stuff on this one.

    Yep. My organic coffee I've enjoyed so much over the years? I was willing to pay $13 per 12 ounce bag. Just jumped to $16.

    I did the math and, no, I'm not paying that to Jeff Bezos (you can only order this coffee on Amazon; before, I could buy it in-store at Whole Paycheck). $13 was my price point, I suppose.

    I hate to drink sawdust coffee but Trump and his ignorant-ass tariffs.

    (Parenthetically, someone please explain to me how he's getting rich off tariffs. Tariffs on Brazil, for example, are political blackmail to extort that country into going easy on their insurrectionist ex-President. But other than "leverage" and cruel dickwaddery, is he somehow pocketing $$$ over this? I know he's stupid but did he really completely skip classes in business schools and pay the school to pass him? God knows he can't read but damn.)
