I understand the want for peace for Ukraine, but Ukraine is not in a nuclear standoff with Russia.
If Russia invades a smaller nation under false pretense, and that said smaller nation continues to win against Russia. The smaller nation holds all of the chips at the table. Especially when Russia is pulling out 60 year old milsurp.
I believe both reasons may be valid. Although with all of the world happenings, I figured the C suite was having a summit of sorts to figure out where they are and where they would like to go.
"Calling it the "Putin price hike," Psaki said she expected to see "a large difference" between headline inflation and "core" CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices.
Economists say the annual inflation rate could be close to 8.5 percent, the highest seen since late 1981.
According to the median forecast of analysts, monthly CPI growth will accelerate to 1.2 percent compared to February when the gain was 0.8 percent rate, while core CPI will remain unchanged at 0.5 percent.,,
So its energy and food then I guess based off of this statement alone.
The core CPI is broken out because energy and food have high short term volatility, so core usually better represents longer-term factors, but as long as the war & sanctions continue and (especially for food) for some time after food and energy are going to be problematic, so the core breakout is probably at a low point in relevance.
One of the best course structures I ever had was my Circuits Theory course. There were three total exams where the first two covered different material, and the third covered everything. On the third, we were able to 'correct' our score one of the first two exams if we did we better on the portions of third exam that covered the material. And the best part is that if you did worse on the third exam over the past material. It wouldn't retroactively degrade your score.
It went something like:
1st Exam: Subject A
2nd Exam: Subject B
3rd/Final: Subject A/B/C
I always wished this was the structure for every course. It allowed for those who didnt do well to stay in the course and encouraged them to understand the way the proffesor assigns work too!
