The overall rate of inflation may have fallen dramatically, but the big picture is more complicated

Almost. An increase of 7% is: 1 + 0.07 = 1.07. A further 3% increase is 1.03 times that, which results in 1.07 x 1.03 = 1.102 or a 10.2% increase.

Thank you. So when they say inflation was ‘only’ ~3% they’re making it sound better than it really is. 🤮
