They were expensive to begin with?

Here I am in Canada holding $8 head of lettuce expecting like solid deep red line or something for Canada only to find out we're doing pretty good.

So do you guys gotta take a loan for your lettuce?

Every time this has happened in the last few decades has been accompanied with a recession

just like trains when they were the preferred method of transit

When you hold the highest office in the land, every economic crisis is your fault and you get to take credit for every good economic thing that happens. No matter how little you actually had to do with either.

Or maybe make deflation a different color, like purple?

You have to remember that the basics of making money with airplanes is to fill every space with cargo, as long as the plane can still get off the ground. Its common for airlines to do some cargo for mail.

Yeah, note that the European country with the darkest green is Greece, hardly the epitome of economic health.

Personally I like this one better.

Yeah, the "80% nuclear power" figure is only for electricity and dates back from record figures reached back around 2005–2010; nowadays, nuclear power accounts for approximately 69% of France's electricity mix and 41% of the total energy mix as your source states.

Other reasons not mentioned for the lower inflation are that the government has imposed a freeze of natural gas prices until December 31st, 2022, and put in place rebates on gas (petrol) prices from April 1st onwards in order to contain the increase in gas prices: initially 18 cents by litre, then 30, now 10 until December 31st.

Many people like me, who aren't homeowners and use public transport exclusively, have barely been affected so far, only the increases in food prices have been felt by everyone. However all those measures and the increased borrowing rates for government bonds (OAT) are putting a significant strain on public finances and the Government debt.

Exactly 😄 but a certain side if the political spectrum doesn't use facts to determine their beliefs

Pretty funny you capped out inflation at 10%, esp. in cases like my dear country Hungary...

Oh well, maybe it matches the official lies.

India likes to keep their inflation settings at simmer, occasionally allowing it to boil over.

I wish there was an “o” in the name so we can pronounce this like thermometer. The Soccerometer!

What if...and I'm just spitballin' here...Bigfoot actually is an alien?? Data seems to point to this possibly...

I really wish people would stop with this format. The simple bracket is infinitely better at conveying the info in an easy to understand fashion.

Then you have Uruguay counting their two Olympic wins as stars.

Edit: lmao can't believe I'm getting downvoted. Uruguay wears 4 stars but only have 2 world cups. The other two would be the Olympics. Do you mfs just blindly believe whoever replies ?

I hope I never have to hear what that sounds like.

Idk, being French, this November was the first time ever I got negative on my paycheck before the end of the month, while having a relatively good salary (400€+ than minimum) and not buying any fancy stuff, most of the food I used to buy went +1€ to +3€ in the last two years. +150€ on rental charges. Energy bill went to the roof and the company behind told us they'd start grid power outage tests soon to anticipate for real ones, in which case there is no backup plan atm for emergency calls/services.
If this is what not having harsh inflation is, I have no clue how all these other countries are surviving.
