Look at "annual % change" for 2020/2021 and you should quickly realize that this "historic drop" is actually just a slow recline from the historic rise we just had.
And the framing of this article is just as astonishing. The whole "does anyone even notice" spiel! Amazing.
Honestly wtf even is this article. The data is basically saying that it is still increasing, just slower than last year.
No, the article is talking about 2022 and 2023 statistics, where there is in fact a drop. The link posted in this comment only shows data up to 2021.
Actually I don't know why they didn't just post the actual source used by the article itself which shows more recent data. Either way, the basic point stands that this "huge drop" is basically a reversion after a large increase in 2020-2021. Things are going "back to normal," so it's kind of stupid to pretend this is something we should all be looking at.
Ahh got it. Still a bad article lol
Reminds me of how the news media frames the deficit, like we're supposed to celebrate when the government puts 1.2 trillion on debt in a year rather than 1.4.
Really astonishing what kind of stories people come up with here...
