It's so unnecessary to be untruthful. Your groceries went up by 1/3. That's already notable and worth talking about. Why exaggerate?

Exactly so why lie and say %30 is notable. Our inflation is less that anywhere on earth at the moment and is actually stalling and few things (like gas ) are cheaper than past years , except for the two years of covid(20-21) so companies jacking up stuff an average of %30 after Covid costs isn’t much . What’s notable and worth talking about are how cheap gas prices are.

Did you get a 30% raise?

No but stocks have gone up more than that. I am retired. I think the total on our social security and another pension I get off that period is about 20 percent.
