Thanks for the write-up, Drew, it's always nice to receive astute, thoughtful feedback on the magazine. Just wanted to make one small correction, which is that the magazine comes out six times per year, not quarterly. Thanks!

Yes, thanks for highlighting this. It's redundant in one way (inflation is accounted for in "real dollars") but while the cost of living has risen for everyone, the people with the lowest incomes have seen their earnings erode more in real terms. Other income groups have seen different proportional fluctuations. So it's kind of a belt-and-suspenders statement.

I completely agree that there isn't One Big Thing to do — just that people (myself included) seem hungry for such simplicity.
