Why doesn't CPI seem to capture the affordability crisis?

"From 1967 to 2022, the cost of basic necessities—#groceries, #rent, #healthcare, #transportation, #childcare—increased 35% faster than everything else."

* "groceries shot up by 23.6% from 2020 to 2024."
*" Rent is at an all-time high, with 50% of renters spending more than third of their income on housing."

You have 1 job when you spawn, eh: Your crotchfruit is supposed to survive to adulthood.

FFS you do not get to cherrypick and/or play Russian Roulette with their health.

Kelda Roys talking about childcare and education as a right not a bonus, especially for rural people.

“We’ve already turned health insurance and secure retirement into privileges that you only get if you get that brass ring job. And we shouldn't do that with child care too.
We shouldn't make the same mistake. We need to be decoupling these fringe benefits, quote unquote fringe benefits, basics that you need to live like health care, like a secure retirement, like child care, like paid family and medical leave. Those should not necessarily be attached to your job.”
