No, I'm pretty straight up wrong. Both disinflationy and deflationary rely on a weighted average price of goods from which to measure and I really don't know what year that would be in America's case. Disinflationary is a bit counter-intuitive in that it refers to a slowdown in the rate of inflation. That would seem to imply an upward curve flattening out, but it's also used to describe a sharp decrease in those weighted average prices during an inflationary period. And that's the case with the chart in question. 

Deflationary is a thing, and while it might sound good it is used almost exclusively to describe the Deflationary Spiral in which the weighted average price of goods drops sharply during a non-inflationary period, launching a dangerous cycle of dwindling retail income and lost jobs. 

Thanks for the heads up. 

 
“It’s my position that strategic, smart tariffs on critical industries that protect our domestic supply of things like steel are really critical,” said state Sen. Grant Hauschild, DFL-Hermantown. “My fear is that, while I do support tariffs on targeted areas, perhaps what we are doing is having reverberations that go far beyond what we were thinking.”

Do people even claim their tips?

Not really a chance not to with the tip being added on the total when paying with a card.  However, any server/driver that claims cash tip is a dope.  20 years ago when I drove for Papa Johns our manager told us it was entirely up to us to claim what we wanted, but to avoid possible "questions" claim about 20-25% of what we were actually tipped.  Back then it was still a ton of cash tips.

Amen!

I would NEVER claim my cash.  I would make 2,000-3000 each summer running camps, cash.  Never claimed it.

I was going to make a joke about forwarding this to the IRS but then I realized there’s only about 3 people left in that department so that kinda took the fun out of it.
