Think mass protest & non-cooperation doesn’t matter? @jiggygero.bsky.social says: “When researchers looked at 35 cases of democratic backsliding from 1991-2021, only 7.5% were successful with no civil resistance movement while 51.7% were successful with a mass civil resistance movement.” Keep it up!

Grocery inflation just won't go away. That hits the lowest income households the hardest
Grocery Inflation Is Still a Thorn in America’s Side
The US got some relatively positive inflation news on Tuesday. The consumer price index rose a modest 0.3% in December from a month earlier, and the “core” prices that economists prioritize were up just 0.2%, less than the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey. There was one big blemish: “Food at home,” perhaps the most psychologically and politically salient category, saw its biggest increase since July 2022.

BNP PARIBAS: “.. We think core PCE will print roughly 20bp hotter than core CPI in December at 0.45% m/m. Food away-from-home inflation jumped to a scorching 0.7% m/m for the month. Unlike CPI, food away-from-home prices are part of core PCE and will consequently add about 10bp to the latter print.”
