You ride the bus to work every day.
While you’re riding the bus you can say “Another day, another bus ride.”
This phrasing implies you are fatigued by the unchanging situation. Every month, the inflation goes up. Every day, you ride the bus. You are tired.
“Every time x happens, y happens also “ is a conditional phrasing .
It doesn’t imply positive or negative, just that two things are linked together and always occur together in your experience.
“Every time my mother visits, she scolds me for not eating well.”
“Every time the moon is full, I go outside to see it.”
“Every time I play this game, my computer crashes.”

Inflation keeps going up and every month is a new record for the last 40 years (four decade = 4 x 10 years)
Pattern: Another X, Another Y
means every time X happens, Y happens also
