      Interesting graph. Why did you decide not to make the Y axis start at 0?

      I always wondered if these wild inflation events essentially wipe out personal debts. Like, if I borrowed an amount to buy my house and now that’s how much a hamburger costs, then obviously I can pay off the mortgage pretty quickly.

      So basically back to the mean for the last two decades?

      What other mediocre tricks does this pony do?

      i remember changing my currency with a vpn by making a new account in argentina for videogames and then it was like i could buy anything i wanted for a few cents. maxed out the account and i still have it. it was patched after a few months (they said “the currency is too unstable” (which was fake because it was just turning stable but they were bleeding money from it and theyre greedy.)) But i still have everything on it and spent nearly nothing.

      i love you argentina

      The Y axis should clarify how inflation is measured, is it 12 trailing months? Is it annualized for the last month?

      This seems to want to make you think that the clown known as Milei is the cause of the decrease.

      The reality is Argentina does this every time there’s a change in government, spike to absurdly insane inflation, then “normalize” to just stupid inflation after a while

      It looks like the general contour of the US inflation rate, only an order of magnitude larger and a couple of years later.

      There are 4 types of economies in the world; developed, developing, Japan and Argentina.
