Hi 🫡
I think it's no secret for anyone that statistics 📊 is such a science that can be manipulated. And this is also used by entire states. For example, the same inflation index CPI (Consumer price index). When something starts to become more expensive - the weight of such an element in the basket is reduced or removed altogether, and when something becomes cheaper - the reverse process is carried out🎯. 😏 Of course, often such changes in the inflation basket are fully justified, as people's consumption changes. But this is not always the case. 🧨 The figure shows official inflation and the inflation rate, which is calculated based on the basket of 1980.
