You should consider if the CPI is the best indicator or just the most popular

Do you have a suggestion for what we ought to use instead, and why it might be preferable to CPI? As your link notes, "It is the most widely watched and used measure of the U.S. inflation rate." I have not seen a reputable measure that suggests we are seeing "rampant" inflation somehow not captured by the CPI.
