Original Note:
This is misleading because it would cause people to believe inflation was 0% in July when in reality the year over year inflation for July was 8.5%. The 0% comes from the month over month inflation between June and July. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/08/10/business/inflation-cpi-report https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2021/06/28/how-does-the-government-measure-inflation/#:~:text=Inflation%20refers%20to%20changes%20over,and%20services%20to%20previous%20prices.
