Fuck off with the Heritage Foundation bullshit. Maybe having multiple metrics for slicing the same underlying pool of data could be useful, but then dumbasses with PhDs get lost in their little numbers and do stupid shit like "Hey, if we used core CPI for cost of living adjustments in benefits programs that'd save the government a bunch of money," forgetting that poor people actually have to buy food and energy because they don't give a shit because they're bad people.
Maybe when our governments stop using "expert" economist advice to fuck over poor people and give taxpayer money hand over fist to wealthy scumbags I would be open to some more abstracted metrics and have a bit of trust in the eggheads, but since I've spent my entire adult life watching highly educated fucking idiots do the exact opposite fuck it, core CPI is a scam.
I mean, I'm never going to admit it to you because I ragebaited myself at the beginning of this and now you're putting an unseemly amount of effort into defending evil shitheads, but I hope I'd add an edit to my first comment in an effort to promote factual accuracy in the community generally
