Don’t let this confuse the facts.
Did the rise come from inflation which helped the amount retail took in or was it from more units sold
please sir we cant talk logic here. Its all about painting a rosy picture
But but but it’s worst under Biden 🤣
Yes it is worse but his butt’s been wiped.
3.1% rise in retail along side 3%+ inflation sounds like a wash,nothing to brag about.
With inflation, that sounds about right. 🤷🏻♂
Spending isn’t technically increasing. Inflation is inflating the numbers.

I just copied and pasted his whole name into my browser, and his website appeared right away. You’ve saved me several hours of arduous research, therefore I appreciate it
inflation….
That data proves things are more expensive not that they are selling more stuff.
All of your data is contradictory, which one is it?
Bom dia 🇧🇷

Americans are rich and loaded! Everyone got free money during Covid and many got raises! No one cares about inflation! That’s all media hype!
