NEW: 🛞 Tires 🛞 illustrate why #inflation refuse to, well, deflate.

To prove it @ProPublica sent a reporter to a rubber plantation in #Vietnam and a small business in southern #Louisiana.

Many takeaways, but a less obvious one: dependency on #cars is killing us.

Riding your #bike is coded as an "elite" activity, but imagine paying $500 for new wheels every year and a half 😵‍💫
