Oh, it's not out of control? Great! I could buy a pound of ground beef in 2019 for 4.99 and the price is now 8.99. Fuck, lucky me. It's so in control!

Right but those are grocery prices not inflation.

Reducing inflation doesn't mean prices go down.

You can be upset about the cost of living but the current rate of inflation is trending down so you're going to have miscommunication if you demand it's reduction when that is already happening.
