Inflation as Proven by PNC Financial --12 days of Christmas

I am glad they have the category breakdowns and YOY comparisons.
And that's all i have to say about that.....

Cost of 'Twelve Days of Christmas' items

Prices of items in the Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," according to PNC Wealth Management:
- Partridge, $12 (last year: $10)
- Pear Tree, $150 (last year: same)
- Two Turtle Doves, $100 (last year: $56)

- Three French Hens, $150 (last year: $45) - 
Four Calling Birds (canaries), $600 (last year: same)
- Five Gold Rings, $650 (last year: $500)
- Six Geese a-Laying, $150 (last year: same)
- Seven Swans a-Swimming, $5,600 (last year: $5,250)
- Eight Maids a-Milking, $58 (last year: same)
- Nine Ladies Dancing (per performance), $6,294 (last year: $5,473)
- 10 Lords a-Leaping (per performance), $4,767 (last year: $4,414)
- 11 Pipers Piping (per performance), $2,356 (last year: $2,285)
- 12 Drummers Drumming (per performance), $2,553 (last year: $2,475)

OK here proves 2 points....
1) Inflation is already here.
2) Real workers --the maids a Milking get paid far less than rather "non productive" work of Ladies Dancing (with the stars perhaps).

and Finally....I wouldn't pay a red cent to the Lloyd's a leaping in a tutu, doing god's work no less.

And what is up with the Gold Rings barely going up in cost?
