Original Note:
Inflation is not "up 3.1% in January alone." The post confuses year-over-year inflation with monthly inflation. The overall Consumer Price Index was up 3.1 percent from a year earlier. Inflation for all items in "January alone" is up 0.3%, not 3.1%. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/13/business/a-key-inflation-gauge-probably-moderated-in-january.html https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm
