Whole lot of mixed messaging about the economy lately. I feel like they really cherry pick numbers sometimes. Groceries definitely don't feel cheaper to me, I don't give a shit how much a TV costs now.
And new trucks and cars are only bought by a select group of people who can afford them, I don't feel it's as direct of a health signal as they'd want you to believe.
If fewer people are buying cars and trucks, their prices fall. Everyone has to buy groceries, and those prices are rising slowly again, like they used to.
