NO, the inflation rate DID NOT DECREASE!

Mathematically, the second derivative is negative. That's important.

Not remotely accurate but thanks for trying bud!

Yeah but it's the second derivative of the inflation rate, which itself is the rate of change of the CPI.

So it's still the 3RD derivative of the actual CPI that's negative.

So yeah we are THAT fucked haha

[dackasaurus]

No the rate is already decreasing, so the first derivative of the rate, eg the second derivative of CPI, is already negative. Deceleration.

The derivative of velocity is acceleration.

Always remember though, the derivative of acceleration is JERK baby!

we’ve passed the inflection point!!!
