pretty much
theyre openly rigging the inflation stasticis
40% imputation means that 40% of the value of whatever cpi metric in the graph is a non-response estimate. Meaning they have no idea what the true value is and 40% of it is simply made up by the BLS. I

Oh it's even worse that that. See this graph? it tells you that now, suddenly, 40% of the basket used to gauge inflation is now made not of observable prices, but of statistical guessing. Basically, 40% is "guessing". Literally vibe-inflation.
Textbook numbers cooking.

If you don't know this graph, then it's very grim. You know how CPI is a basket of observable prices of things they look at (rent, energy, goods, and so on)? Whether or not you agree on this basket is another topic altogether, and inconsequential anyway as long as the basket remains consistent across years.
Well, just know that there's usually on this basket ~10% reserved to estimated/statistical prices instead of real observable ones.
Suddenly this 10% is now 40% of the basket.
I don't think I need to spell it to you what this means. You're a sound adult, you should understand.
