Original Note:
This graph is statistical trickery: it is based on 3 months of data that is mathematically projected over 12, rather than using the actual 12 months of data like normal. Doing so obfuscates that annual inflation actually rose (3.0% to 3.2%) in the latest official report. https://www.bls.gov/cpi, https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/#:~:text=Annual%20Inflation%20Rates
