Stupid kevin deflects the question with an example that is irrelevant.
Here are the real numbers.
2019 inflation 1.8%
2020 inflation 1.2%
2021-now cumluative inflation 17%
So 1.018*1.02*1.17= 21.4%; signiificantly lower than stupid kevin's statement; who claims to be an economics major.
And the source for the 49% increase was posted earlier & there are many sources that show shoplifting is $112b.
If stupid kevin & the rest of the usual suspects don't want to believe it, they cannot be helped.
