>>61313152>Do you seriously not see the flaw in your logic?what logic retard? Food and shelter are not used in CPI. And Doordash exclusively does Food. Why are you so brain dead?

>>61313166>>61313169Cat got your tongue?Other than that, there's also the simple fact that there's nothing wrong with citing reports by major companies.And doing so in no way implies that such a report is your only source.That's just stupidity.You're stupid.
Also someone needs to fact check the fact checkers.Karoline was citing the overall findings, while the community note zooms in on cheeseburger menus.
>>61313138grok heavyYes, food prices are included in the CPI (Consumer Price Index) calculation. They form a major category (typically around 13-15% of the basket in the US CPI), covering groceries and dining out, though volatile items like fresh produce may be noted separately in "core" CPI measures that exclude food and energy.No, food delivery services like DoorDash are not directly included in the CPI basket.Here’s the breakdown:Food at home (groceries) and food away from home (restaurant meals) are included.Food away from home covers the full price of meals at restaurants, including dine-in, takeout, and sometimes drive-thru.However, third-party delivery fees (e.g., DoorDash service fees, delivery charges, or tips) are not part of the CPI. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) treats these as transportation or service fees, not food costs.So: The cost of the pizza from a restaurant = included in CPI (under "food away from home") The $5 DoorDash delivery fee = not includedThe CPI captures what consumers pay for the food itself, not the logistics of getting it delivered.

>>61313219I wouldn’t take the wage portion of the report at face value. It just repeats the government narrative. And yes, I criticized the Biden admin’s lies too. That doesn’t mean I’m going to eat red team’s bullshit. The government lies so you stay calm while they rob you.As for the steady prices part, the text in the screenshot is shallow. There’s nothing on methodology, for example. But, being able to read between the lines, the baskets don’t seem representative at all. Food isn’t just breakfast items, and most households don’t need diapers. Both baskets violate basic principles of necessity and sufficiency.
