Bill Ackman blasts CPI calculation, says inflation now in double-digits "The inflation that households are actually experiencing is raging and well in excess of reported government statistics," says Bill Ackman, noting Owners’ Equivalent Rent - which yesterday officially posted a 3.5% Y/Y increase - falls woefully short of describing what's actually happening in the real world. Ackman reminds that the country's largest single-family landlords are reporting 17% Y/Y gains in rent.Why does it matter? Well, OER accounts for 24% of the headline inflation calculation and 30% of core CPI, so it's kind of important to get it right. If the statisticians at the BLS incorporated reality into their models, the core rate of inflation in the U.S. would be 9%, rather than the 4.9% reported yesterday. The headline rate would be 10.1% vs. the 6.8% reported. seekingalpha.com seekingalpha.com

DeSantis Proposes $8 Million in Budget to Relocate Illegal Immigrants to Delaware, Martha’s Vineyard Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis set $8 million in his 2022–23 budget to transport illegal immigrants out of The Sunshine State. He proposed the spending in the Freedom First Budget ( pdf) to protect against harms resulting from illegal immigration. The spending may include the transportation of unauthorized aliens located within Florida to other states or the District of Columbia. “In yesterday’s budget, I put in $8 million for us to be able to transport people illegally [in the United States] out of the state of Florida,” he said during a press conference on Friday. The Republican governor listed Delaware, President Joe Biden’s hometown state, and Martha’s Vineyard, where former President Barack Obama owns a mansion, as potential destinations to relocate the illegal immigrants. “If you sent [illegal immigrants] to Delaware or Martha’s Vineyard or some of these places, that border would be secure the next day,” he said. ... theepochtimes.com Message 33616212
