  What do we think about Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture for this? There is a plot, there is a story, but you as the player have no active role in it. You don’t even see it play out in real time. You’re just there, after, looking at the holes left behind. Nothing changes from the start of the game until the end.

  I absolutely loved it, but typing that out, I suddenly realize why most people thought it was really boring.

  That 55% figure has been true of New York for decades. The ubiquity of public transit has historically offset the costs: since people aren’t making car payments, the portion of their income that would go to that gets spread across other spending.

  I would be more interested to see figures in more car-oriented areas for a better apples-to-apples.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most companies have been taking it on the chin for now: eating the cost of the tariffs and taking a reduced profit to maintain prices and help foster consumer confidence while they wait and see how all the tariff negotiations actually play out.

  With regards to the original question, inflation is measured across all consumer purchasing. So prices on goods (groceries, cars, computing hardware, etc) can increase significantly, but if the price on services (Netflix, restaurants, laundromats, etc) stays relatively flat, inflation ends up looking better than it feels.
