Reply to ELI5:Why do we exclude the price of things like Food, Housing and Energy costs when looking at the total number for inflation? by DeludedRaven
We don't. All those items are included in CPI. The basic premise of your question is wrong.

BAC? Great. Preferreds went back and up over par. Best lot was buying L series at like 250.

Mortgage rates came down over the past few months, and prices have come down a bit too.
Demand is still down quite a bit though.

I'd say take a break, and binge it next time you're horribly sick and have nothing better to do.

Yes, the state is too Boston-centric. That's my point. You're not focusing less on Boston by keeping jobs in Boston and forcing longer commutes. There needs to be opportunities elsewhere.

I think Western mass itself needs a better job market. Commuting to Boston is still Boston.
Industries like to cluster, so w. Mass needs different industries.

The state is too Boston-centric. Everyone's piling in to Boston, complaining about cost, while other parts of the state are more affordable.

The gas part should fall more. Dec gas was like 6.79, vs Feb at like 3.10. March is looking lower.

I'd assume more reductions later. Prices crashed for Feb and onward delivery.

You're not going to notice 9 inches over 100 years vs the daily rise and fall of tides.

A lot of the petroleum is for transport. Not much is electricity generation.

CPI shows all categories that consumers spend money on. You can exclude whatever parts you want to exclude for whatever reason. But it's all in there as a starting point. You can look at actual CPI reports for free you know..
