#3  I saw a graph recently of housing prices and it looks worse than inflation, more like another bubble. When it bursts we'll get to bail out the 'too big to fail' banks again.

#2  by traditional measures, the core inflation is under 2%

gasoline is up a lot, also a big bump in electricity costs (because of the Texas situation)

but food, appliances, housing, insurance and so forth have been stable

there is a data problem however comparing prices in our present partially closed retail sector with prices in ordinary times, e.g., hospitality services are discounted heavily all over the USA and this is just one of the distortions
