@callisto Aside from them mixing up "average" and "median," this is where consumer habits in the US have been designed to detach from the cost of goods. Medicine, housing, transport - the most critical, non-negotiable needs of life - are cripplingly expensive here.
But so much else in life is costly as consumed, rather wrt cost. Poor people know that; median income people forget. My next toot addressed it; eg foodbox subscription vs. local grocer prices.
