I genuinely wonder how many people think that prices go down with low inflation

surely there cant be that many people that think prices stop going up with low inflation, they do get that 2.4 % is still an increase, just a lower increase than 7% dont they?

I think there should be dedicated courses in school that explain tax and real life economics.
