My government's favourite trick for gaming inflation numbers (also practiced by many other nations) is omitting "highly volatile" elements from the calculations. Specifically, food and energy.
Because the average person spends basically none of their money on those two items, right? And the prices of those shoot up crazily, but their prices also drop like a stone the next month, making the consumer come out even, right?
Goodhart's Law, etc, etc.

"Well, sure, all our sandwiches now come with shit. Shit is a very popular topping with our customers, so we thought we'd make it easy for all of you to get what you want. We determined it was too confusing for customers if some sandwiches came with shit, and some didn't, so we simplified our menu to make sure you could find exactly what you need. No, you can't order a sandwich 'but hold the shit'. After all, if you're that dead-set against eating shit, you can just order your sandwich and then eat around the shit."

A 3/4 (55 cm) #violin 🎻 [1] for the American chap whose posts I saw on Reddit whilst researching what was involved in changing #sparkplugs - it turns out in USA-land torque values for these are sometimes quoted in *inch*-pounds, but he got confused and ended up borrowing a ft-lbs #torquewrench, tried to put put 150 ft-lbs (203 Nm!) on a plug that should be about 150 inch-pounds (17 Nm). and wondered why the plug was still loose, and his truck was misfiring.
Luckily for him the ceramic had broken before the threads stripped in the cylinder head and the garage was able to extract the broken plug and he was back on the road.
[1] just the right size for a small child of about age 10 to play, and to suggest to the old man that using #metric units really isn't a bad idea..

I've built a civil/solar metric clock for the iPhone. If that sounds intriguing and you'd like to know more, you can check out the post at https://www.olsons.net/projects/multiclock.
If you download and use the app, I'd love any feedback.
The source code's up on GitHub. App is in the App Store. Those links, and lots of history and explanation, in the post.
