Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

  Yes, definitely increased some. Where's the rest of the data, such as part time or unemployed, or even population growth? Like I said, a single number means not so much without context. But it's an impressive graph.

    Unemployment is very low

    Not really an improvement from 2019, but basically has been around that 4% value for a while

    In fact, president Biden noted “unemployment has been at or below 4% for 30 months—the longest stretch in 50 years.”

      Yes, there is a low unemployment number. As with the rest, you haven't validated that it's a good measure of the current state of things. It's arguably never been.
