      Wait, at the moment you are being severely downvoted for posting a link to the best statistical source we have for the US on this topic? WTF is wrong with people?

        Because people don’t want the truth, they just want to complain.

        And I get that.

        It’s a natural human reaction, but it is also annoying because some of these same people would demand a citation and I’ve given them exactly that.

          Lately I’ve been telling people who ask for sources that they need to convince me they are asking in good faith. Real sincere responses will get a source, the real utility is it ends the conversation more quickly when it’s a disingenuous request. Best to save energy for the teachable.

            They’re not looking for actual citations. Google works just as well for them as it does for you. They want to waste your time.

      I just looked over that page, and I couldn’t find any data on I_Has_A_Hat’s grocery costs between 2020 and now. Would you mind pointing it out for the benefit of me and other particularly dense people in the audience?

        The first column. Cookies, beef, chicken, milk, pasta… literally anything you’d buy at a grocery store.

            Yeah, I’ve done that about a dozen times now and it works perfectly fine. If someone can’t navigate a website, then rhey maybe shouldn’t be commenting on it’s contents.
