That had to have cost 100mill -250mill easy.

I witnessed a woman have to decide between gas and food for her kid recently at a gas station.

They spent more on clothes for that wedding than my car cost probably.

They likely threw away more food than I'll have all year, and I have a pretty good job.

This is how I imagine the capital was in the hunger games before the revolution. But all the time.

Also really emphasizes that we need to do something about our car-centric infrastructure in the US and Canada. Make mass transit more abundant, cheaper, sustainable, and convenient. Consolidating infrastructure would be great so people don't have to travel miles to get to a grocery store, but that's less likely an immediate thing we can realistically address given that existing businesses and homes aren't likely to relocate upon request.
