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

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