I'm the of infographics thanks to AI! Information tells stories, this one is about a brick and mortar bloodbath. These were places you ran into people by chance or by habit. Now you don't.

Adjusting your priors is hard. You find your relationship to things becomes anchored in time and feel a dislocation as the current price moves ever further from your anchor.

Life became harder, even as on paper you were making nominal gains in your salary, whether through the bleed of inflation and a growing money supply, or the policy decisions that failed to account for that inflation, reaching deeper in households pockets than ever intended through taxation and surveillance.

The results, even as the indexes and anchors caused untold harm on a nominal basis, the damage on a real basis to the median household is so much worse. A dime for your time..... Squeeze #6/7

Once the 25 different categories are indexed to today, the median household income tax rates have saved a smidge but not really that much. The Squeeze #5/7

When it's your shelter that's designed to slip away through the scarcity of what, where and how you can build, combined with a financialized product to store wealth. Squeeze #4/7
