It's been trending down, but still doesn't solve the problem that prices for a lot of things are still above the pre-pandemic levels and increased wages isn't enough to necessarily offset it.
Look what Joe Biden DID Now

Wages are up 4%. Yes that is not enough to keep up with what we saw but if trends continue that will be a great thing and all indicators are it will continue to trend down.
Trend down for industries, yes. Others no. Fast food is doing the opposite and only continuing to go up.
Depending on the industry, customers aren't seeing the relief, which is why I say that that tweet can easily be poked if you do a deep dive.

As I said some prices are slowly trending up. Only for industry is not accurate if you consider how much gas has fallen. Some food prices have also gone down. It's no denying some prices are up but many are down.

It’s doom and gloom when the numbers are down and then it’s Juelz time when the numbers are doing better. This is why I just don’t even care about politics anymore lol. Post pandemic has been pretty good for me and I’m hoping to keep it up.
Again which is why I said you could poke holes in the numbers if you look at different industries and items instead of inflation as a whole which is what that tweet did.
150 characters and that graph isn’t enough to tell the entire story of inflation.
