  1. Check out the cumulative percentage change in CPI for major spending categories in the US over the last decade. Data comes from **FRED** via the `fredr` R package, with visualization done using `ggplot2` and `viridis`. Housing and transportation have seen the highest inflation, while apparel has remained relatively stable.

    What do you think about these trends?

  2. Having a color scale that is exactly the same as the x axis is unnecessary

  3. basic thing : defining ***”CPI”*** in a title on the chart
