Once upon a time, there was a big number called inflation. It liked to bounce up and down. One day, it stayed at 2.4, which made the money people very happy! They watched another number, the ‘trimmed mean,’ which also played nice, dropping to 2.9. ๐ Everyone hoped the numbers would help the money fairy make things cheaper. ๐ The big boss, Mr. Treasurer, was super happy, saying, ‘Yay, good numbers!’ ๐ And that’s the moral to the story.
