Scale is the same. The CPI reports every month. It's one chart, a single index, one point per month.

They just take the recent point and the point from a year ago and do the math and report the change. For mom they do the recent point and the one before that, do the math and report.

Some people actually know what the CPI is, how it gets reported, and understand the shortcomings of said reporting. If you aren't one of those people, it's silly to go around correcting others.

I… do… know that. That’s why I’m trying to clear up the shitstorm you’re causing by deliberately being provocative. You sound like a manager trying to deceive reports into thinking they don’t need an inflation bump this year because “look inflation is lessening” or something.
