I wasn't sure where to put this but $1 for tap water could be considered inflation. Momofuku is in the Cosmo in Las Vegas.

Momofuku $ Tap water : r/vegas

it could be related to Lake Mead drying up.
or it could be gouging.....

Now we have the July producer price index up 0.9%. The expected rise was 0.2% so it came in 4-1/2 times higher than predicted. That would be an annualized rate of 10.8%.

Those numbers are from before the latest round of new/increased tariffs. I'm not looking forward to the turn things are likely about to take.

Despite bringing in new tax revenue of $21 Billion, the deficit somehow exploded 20% over the same time frame. What the heck is going on?

I'm trying to delete it but won't let me edit.

Thanks for trying. I didn't know if that would work. James is aware of the site issues and has a tech working on it. We can't delete. We can't flag. We can't quote.

I tried to delete the post from the backdoor admin page, and it still won't let me.
IT will need to get involved on this one and in repairing the site in general

Core CPI was up to 3.1% for July, and that does not include volatile food/energy prices.
