Inflation statistics have been rigged for decades [1].

I can't believe people are still citing shadowstats and expecting to be taken seriously.

It's been known bullshit for a decade and a half.

I bought into the shadowstats guy for a long time, until he admitted he makes up his numbers. It's all bogus.

I wasn’t aware of this. Thank you for letting me know!

Does anyone have a source which is not bogus? Or is the “inflation numbers are rigged” premise just bogus?

Source?
