It’s crazy that they change the weights on these indexes. How are you supposed to get an accurate inflation number if you keep moving the goal posts
It is a good point. But given the importance of the decisions that get driven off these numbers, I think it is more important that they be meaningful.
In some ways, it makes it a more useful historical measure as well as you can have a greater confidence that the number reflects the pressure inflation was placing on people at the time.
