Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

Another Good Inflation Report:

Inflation Has Been Beaten,
A Soft Landing Achieved

- The main gauge of inflation, the #Consumer#Price#Index,
came in at 0.2% for July and 2.9% over the past 12 months.

Food prices have only increased ✅1.1% over the past year
-- 💪🏽far below the wage gains of workers.

Over the past six months inflation has averaged 2.0% -- ⭐️which is the target rate the Fed has been shooting for.

As we’ve been saying here these last few weeks inflation, a global phenomenon, has been tamed here in the US and a #soft #landing achieved.

It is time for the Fed to #cut#interest #rates and start easing up on consumers.
