April’s consumer price index, a key measure of inflation, rose 0.3% month over month and 8.3% year over year. Economists expect the CPI to rise 0.2% from the month prior and 8.1% year over year, according to the Dow Jones consensus estimate. That compares with March’s 8.5% year-over-year pace.
Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, saw an even bigger month-over-month jump of 0.6%. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones were expecting a 0.4% rise.

Inflation slowing, but not as much as expected.

They're not wrong.

Here's a fun thought. We've had periods of inflation in the past, but we've never had a period of inflation where wage stagnation has been so pronounced, for so long, with so much national debt, with major supply chain issues, and staffing shortages everywhere.

The US military is flying in baby formula from europe.

I missed something.... WHY is there a baby formula shortage in the United States of America? This is embarrassing.

Baby formula is heavily regulated, tightly concentrated, and a plant that makes like 20% of the US supply had issues and closed a few months ago.
Because of regulations, we can't just import it from anywhere, etc.

Not a good look. Maybe the UN needs to step in with humanitarian aid for us.

Rookie move.
Listen to Curly. Genuinely one of the best things ever written. Such a great statement about the human condition.
