    CPI inflation is reported higher than ‘all items’ though…

    Grocery is seeing lower inflation. Seems to have come back down to earth.

    We need wage growth to continue to outpace inflation like it has been for the past year or so.

      I’d have to look but I think wage growth is falling again and of course there’s the skewed employment statistics that don’t factor in people working multiple jobs… You are dead on though. Inflation is sustainable if the rest of the growth is moving along with it … unfortunately ours isn’t resulting in the overheating.
