Why areyou trying to compare change from 2019 vs change from 2020? I used 2019 because that is what the original post used. But if you use anytime pre-pandemic as the starting point wages have grown faster than food prices. Here is the actual data fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1XLUw

Yes. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES12...

Median wages are up 39.9% from the star of 2019 fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES12...

Ahh yes, people can never be wrong, their live experience can only be questioned

Just got to subsidize demand a little harder. I’m sure it’ll work this time!

School start times should be moved back anyway.

If you replaced every home heater unit with a heat pump capable of both heating and air conditioning it would reduce the overall energy consumption (and thus co2 emissions) but for some reason you don’t count heating emissions (hint: northern hemisphere bias)

Although on the used EV market used Tesla are often the best performing option at a given price point.
