One thing that is never mentioned in the official notices of inflation

I would question the weightings of the items in their surveys. I don't
think that luxury items should be included, only things that people on
low incomes need. So no BMWs, cell phones, avocadoes, etc. I have no
idea what items they choose but I'll bet many of their choices will be
stupid.
