Mate, that's one hell of a flex 💪🏼.

I haven't baked a loaf in months. This gives me something to shoot for.

Yeah, 'big shorts™' would just love that!

Make the consumer pay for cutting costs on pockets.

In the paper the IMF even says that the Central Bank's GFS figures are different to those submitted to them...

Not surprising, but it makes it clear that figuring out the puzzle using public data is too ambitious a goal.

I'll try it tomorrow when I do some more tweaks.

Thanks!

Anyway, I think about this a lot as it's such a horrible way to treat a human being *and* I have no idea how a normal person prepares for something this traumatic (both personally and financially).
