Reply to comment by adebar in [OC] USD Inflation Delta Since 1990 by FuckMyHeart

Here was my question. Nowhere in your comment do I see a direct (or indirect) answer to this

>Do you acknowledge that an inflation rate as a percentage is meaningless without access to the raw values?

I'm going to assume your answer is "no". If a Ruble and a Yen undergo the same inflation, how do you explain them having different values? Or do you think two currencies that undergo the same inflation rate have the same values?

It's funny you quoted the BLS, because if you pay closer attention to it, you'll see it's saying the same thing I am to you.

How often does the BLS quote changes in inflation in percent and how often in index points in that article?
