Thanks for this, so I redid the math using the two youngest categories (up to 34 years old) and the % goes from 21% to 26% 🤷♂️

LOL, America did what now? Invented English? Met an English fella the other day, born and raised in New York.
Can you explain how government enforced monopolies intersects with the discussion here?
It actually is. We all have problems. Humanity formed society to solve problems. Society has been hijacked (for a loooong time in many different ways) to extract value from others. Some people want to combat that.
Some “have their own problems to deal with”
Now imagine if you lived in a society where someone gave a shit about your problems. And maybe they even have the skills and resources to fix them more efficiently than you would. Or not, does it matter, theyre willing to help.
That is god teir!
This could probably uplift any path you choose to take in life.
I think people know? A franchise brings in x million per year, from the gross x percent goes to head office, remainder is used for operating costs and the balance is whats left for the franchisee. What you seem to be ignoring is that a shift in one cost doesnt mean everything else remains static. McDs head office wont enforce x percent of gross in a high labour market if it forces the franchise to close down.
Analysts create forecasts on the sustainable extraction of wealth from the community. By way of example. If there is a change in law meaning labour is now paid $4/h the franchisee wont jusy make 300k insteaf of 150k per year. The monthly fees will also go up, and the franchisee may make 200k a year now, with an additional 100k going to head office.
Prices also dont double with doubling of labour costs, the entire system is dynamic, with a readjustment of how much value each stakeholder takes from the overall pie.
I dont know if people act purposefully dense when these things come up or actually cant see beyond their immediate situation, but you dont get “double prices, all businesses close down, the economy will collapse” when you force a slight shift of the value pie towards labour that creates the value.
Sorry if the franchisee will now only get $100k per year in the bank per franchise managed by their team, instead of $150k, and head office can only capture 3.5% of gross instead of 4.5%, its totally worth it if hundreds and thousands of employees are not staying up at night worrying about paying for their gas, electricity, prescriptions or clothes for their kids.
What’s a “real American” and why does their opinion hold objective value?
Wouldnt want people to have any protection from the sun when its hot out
All good! Wish I knew where the source data was and the constraints, too. May have been mentioned else where and I’ve missed it.
How can it be cumulative if thr title is average, and the line has downward dips - impossible in a cumulative graph unless negative posts are a thing.
For sure, good call out, I think they just mean only 21% of people feel sure about wanting kids, and if we remove the age bias it goes to 26%. Honestly it would be more interesting to compare the categories to answers from 10, 20 or 30 years ago to have a better benchmark for how we could interperet this.
