Gasoline will have a big impact on September CPI. EIA data show Sep YoY gasoline inflation is 36%. Diesel (not a line item in CPI) will be worse, at 68% YoY. (Diesel demand is half of gasoline by volume; shows up more on the PPI side, and/or embedded in inflation of other goods with lag in CPI)

This is hilarious. It’s not just that Sen. Schmitt gets the team names wrong; he confuses a women’s college basketball game between the Maryland Terrapins and the Iowa Hawkeyes, in Maryland, for a men’s NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Atlanta Hawks, in Atlanta. Hawkeyes != Hawks.
