#CPI&JoblessClaimsWatch 🚨🚨 Breaking News (or just another Wednesday?):

The latest CPI data shows a tiny 0.1% dip, while jobless claims crept up to 223K. What does that mean? Well, inflation's apparently “cooling,” but somehow your grocery bill didn't get the memo. And as for the rising jobless claims? Let’s just call it “involuntary entrepreneurship.”

Markets, of course, are thrilled. A slight dip in CPI and suddenly it’s champagne on Wall Street. Meanwhile, Main Street’s still waiting for eggs to drop below luxury status.

👀 Meta is downsizing, Starbucks is “restructuring,” and the labor market? Still being called “resilient” — because apparently that sounds better than “people working 3 jobs to make rent.”

So yes, the economy’s totally fine… if you ignore reality.
