Uber mesma hora mesma altura do ano um ano de diferença mais de 20%

Um trajecto que faço várias vezes. O que antes custava entre 4-5 euros agora 6-7 e cheguei a ter de pagar 10...

Os transportes públicos idem. Menos horários, autocarros mais cheios e mais caros nessa proporção.

Nem vou falar imobiliário, mecânicos, repações caseiras ou obras porque aí nem sei se inflação é a palavra adequada. Qualquer porcaria de obra são pelo menos 40 mil euros e estou a dizer coisa ultra superficiais em apartamentos pequenos. Uma reforma apartamento 100m2 vai para os 80-100 mil. E sim de ano para ano continua a aumentar cada vez mais e absurdamente mais.

Somos uns esfomeados é o que é a Europa está podre.

E convém ainda ter em conta a inflação na perda de serviço... Atendimento deplorável que antes era impensável, qualidade de serviço 0...

Inflation Eased to 2.7% in Report Distorted by Government Shutdown

Year-over-year consumer inflation cooled in November from 3% in September


Inflation eased unexpectedly in November, pushed down in part by slowing shelter costs. The Labor Department’s report was delayed because of the government shutdown, which also made it impossible for workers to collect some of the data they would normally have.

Even before the release, economists cautioned that a technical fix the Bureau of Labor Statistics used to deal with collection issues caused by the shutdown may have biased the November figure downward, causing inflation to be understated.

The consumer-price index rose 2.7% in November from a year earlier, according to a delayed government report issued Thursday, slowing from 3% in September.

Stripping out volatile food and energy costs, the core measures of prices over the year increased 2.6%.
The headline reading was lower than the 3.1% that economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected. They had expected a 3.0% increase in core prices.

The Labor Department, which usually publishes its inflation data earlier in the month, didn’t break out changes for October because officials weren’t able to collect prices in the field during the long government shutdown that lasted until Nov 12.

Rising prices have become a concern for more and more Americans, so much so that discontent over affordability has shaped local elections and forced the Trump administration to re-examine its messaging on the economy. While annual inflation is down from the runaway levels of 2022, it is still above the level that policymakers feel comfortable with.

Some companies have already raised prices on consumers as a way to deal with Trump’s new tariffs. Other companies are waiting to see how tariffs settle before raising prices in order not to scare away customers. The start of the year tends to be the time for businesses to adjust prices, so inflation could go even higher from here.

A 10% tariff on global imports went into effect in April, while much higher rates on major trading partners and important products like steel and aluminum kicked in over the course of months.

Prices for goods including carpets, clothing, coffee and other tariff-exposed products are up sharply from where they would have been had there not been tariffs, according to a Harvard analysis of data from major U.S. retailers through October.

Economists have also been worried about price increases seeping from goods into services, which cover amenities like haircuts, daycare, airfares, car insurance and more. Some of that increase, economists say, may be due to the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigrants, who fill roles as landscapers, home health aides and other services jobs.

The bigger worry of policymakers is that once consumers and businesses expect higher prices, inflation can feed on itself and become harder to control. Companies that have been able to pass along higher costs without losing customers may keep pushing prices higher.

Joseph Brusuelas, economist at accounting firm RSM, said service prices have been propped up by demand from higher-income households, which have enjoyed the benefits of a soaring stock market. “But that turns into rising inflation that the average person can’t afford,” he said.

The Labor Department’s consumer-price index is a widely cited measure of inflation in the U.S. Some of the items it measures feed into the inflation metric compiled by the Commerce Department. That is the Fed’s preferred gauge on inflation.
