I've been fiddling around with the Albertsons API for fun. It's kind of neat to see a whole year's worth of purchases in nicely formatted JSON.

I have half an idea to create something like a personal inflation tracker, but I'm still thinking about it.

It's entirely possible that these goons will start fiddling with official statistics around things like unemployment and inflation to tell us that inflation is not actually happening any more and that therefore we must cut interest rates, or some such.

You may be interested to know MIT did a project called ["The Billion Prices Project"](https://thebillionpricesproject.com) to scrape the web and calculate CPI.

Sorry to all the tinfoil hats, it closely matched official CPI.
