The consumer price index for October showed inflation at a 3.2% level, while the producer price index came in with an annual rate of 1.3%. Perhaps the most interesting and relevant facts about inflation are that the overall number means little to the average person. “Although the overall consumer price level was flat in October, shelter inflation continued,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist for Realtor.com. Overall inflation among select urban areas was highest in the Miami to West Palm Beach corridor, up by 7.4% in October. Their inflation rate was 1.1%.

☆ 36 Hours in Philadelphia

12:30 p.m. Get the best steakEvery Philadelphian has an opinion about where to get the best cheesesteak, and those of us with family roots in northwestern Roxborough are loyal to Dalessandro’s . Not much has changed at this steak shop since it opened on this corner in 1961, but the pandemic did force a pivot to take-out only, which is still in place. Instead of the usual thinly sliced meat, Dalessandro’s ribeye is finely chopped and suffused with molten cheese (American is standard), and the roll is soft but never soggy. (I like mine topped with marinara.) Take your steak to the leafy Wissahickon Valley Park , a short drive away, where you can eat on a bench beside the creek, then hike on miles of trails winding through the wooded gorge.

The US office's 75 employees could spend $200 a day on DoorDash food delivery – a total of $15,000. And when they realized Amazon didn't cover The Bahamas, deliveries were flown privately from Miami. With around 75 staff based at FTX's American firm per Axios, that would mean a $15,000 allowance in DoorDash food delivery credits every day. After FTX moved its head office from Hong Kong to The Bahamas in September 2021, employees realized that Amazon didn't deliver to the island. In bankruptcy court, it was also revealed that staff submitted expenses through online chat platforms, which were approved with emojis.
