Also - I thought that part about the CPI and the Federal Reserve (Fed) was brilliant. MORE people should know about the Fed. They think it is part of the government. But as you said - it is NOT. It is a private corporation. Thank you for educating people about this. Because it is IMPORTANT. And I think it's awesome that you still find the time with your massive work schedule to read about this. BTW - the CPI is actually put out by the BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics). But it IS used by the Fed. The Fed also uses something that does count energy (and I think rent as well). It's called the Personal consumption expenditures price index (PCI price index). 👍 ☮

BTW - I just found this site for free videos. And it's a government site - weird. It's called archive DOT org. I cannot put it as a link or KZbin will delete my post. Now...this site is mostly REALLY OLD stuff. I am middle aged and it's still WAY too old for me. But it has a few gems like Monty Python and WKRP in Cincinnati. They have lots of audiobooks too. But they are INCREDIBLY old. Like ancient. But everything is downloadable and free. SO...if you are bored and search through it and find something you like - it's yours. ☮
