They provide the data with and without food/energy. Looks like as of Dec 23, including food and energy reduces cpi when compared against excluding it because energy prices have dropped.

Folks on the eastern side of the time zones wouldn’t be any more worse off with permanent ST than we already are. We already use ST in the winter when the effective daylight hours are shortest. Permanent DT would be a quality of life improvement for eastern edge of timezone folks in the winter at the expense of late sunrises for western edge of timezone people. Permanent ST I think is at least better than the switching in that it doesn’t make the short day hours any worse and gets rid of the clock change silliness.

I just want to say that your vote for the federal office does matter even if you live in a non-competitive state. Some states allocate a percentage of their electoral votes rather than all or nothing but even if yours does not, voting still adds a data point that says I support this person instead of that person. There have been several times where a candidate has won the presidency without winning the most votes but it was always very close to 50%. If everybody that had a preference voted and the outcome was 55% this guy / 45% the other guy and the other guy won… that could be a real driver for change to the electoral college system.

Lol what a troll audio book.

Forgot the /s (or if you actually believe that… the claims of election fraud were basically a sore-loser rhetoric from defeated GOP candidates and all court cases alleging fraud were tossed out essentially immediately due to lack of any evidence; massive rewards offered to find any evidence of fraud also were unsuccessful).

The overlap of things tried with logical reasons is far too great for programming. Have you tried speaking to your duck about it?
