Original Note:
This promotes an inflation metric subset (ignores food & energy) on a manipulated timescale. The government's standard metric shows that annual inflation increased from 3.2% to 3.7% over the last month. (Inflation metrics would be negative if costs were lowering.) https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/concepts.htm https://www.bls.gov/cpi/ https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111414/what-difference-between-inflation-and-deflation.asp
