Don't remind me again today

September's CPI report raises eyebrows: a staggering 40% of items were estimated rather than measured—jumping from 36% just a month earlier.



Here's the issue: when actual price data goes missing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics patches holes with calculated guesses. Normally? That's around 10% of the basket. But we're way past normal now.

This spike in estimation percentage isn't just a statistical footnote. It's a credibility crack in the inflation data that central banks rely on for policy moves—and markets react to accordingly.

The data manipulation Bitcoin has been fully mined; I can't even dare to imagine the real inflation.
