Rate of inflation is going down, not up. 3.4% in 2023 vs 6.5 % in 2022 (https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-infl...). The target inflation rate is between 2-3%, so 2023 was pretty close to the target rate.

Meanwhile the price on literally everything is going up. Okay.

Greed and smaller packaging my friend. All they needed was an excuse.

Well, yes, but more slowly than in 2022. No one said inflation was zero, only that it's back to a more manageable level.

Positive inflation will do that.
