Food costs: Americans may have been hard hit at the grocery store thanks to recent years inflation, but consumers still spend only 6.7% of their expenditures on food, the lowest globally.

Energy kings: The U.S. has achieved energy independence, reducing reliance on foreign energy and bolstering geopolitical stability.

A good year for pensions: 2024 equity gains are the highest for an election year since 1936.

Bubba’s Two Cents

Bruce Mehlman is someone I very much look up to, and he’s one of the smartest people I’ve come across in my time in media. I first learned about him by reading his semi-regular presentations that zoomed out on America to show where we stood as a society. He now writes a once-a-week newsletter with his “Six Chart Sunday” - I highly recommend you subscribe if you like smart, visual information about the most substantive issues.
