>>20227233>Technically sales are up because prices have gone upThis is what's so absolutely evil about how they're rigging the CPI data. We've been in a recession since Q1 2022, but they've been hiding the GDP contraction by arficially the inflation adjustments downward. When you have lower ecpnomic activity but higher prices because of stagflation, you can spin that into a positive GDP print if you lie about CPI.
