  • But price increases of cereals ( bread, pasta, grains, etc.) increased by about 7,5 % last year alone, which is more than the inflation, and more than the increase after inflation.

    That's where people might complain. They still can't afford food, as food prices increase faster than overall inflation

  • I appreciate a data supported argument, and love that you actually linked sources.

    One thing that I feel is missing in most of the linked analyses is that inflation has also hit unevenly, and the price of basic goods has increased significantly more than overall inflation. Which would explain why households still have less disposable income, also the mean debt burden is much higher leading to loan costs being more common.

  • For programming, you should probably be able to copy that project design.

    If you want to make it difficult for yourself, you pick a user or use case to optimise for.

    Maybe you make it a wargaming centered booking and matching site (for ladders and weekly games type tournaments)?

    Maybe you make it conference centre based, giving appropriately sized suggestions and showcase the rooms?

    Maybe you make it for yourself and add schedule sync, or notifications, or whatever you've always been missing from your calendar app.

  • Have you seen the numbers? Could you link them?

    The only thing I've been able to find is 2,2 million "encounters" in a high year, over the whole country.

    Germany takes in a million immigrants per year by itself, and has at least a handful of encounters per immigrant to process them. Also has a bunch of encounters with illegal immigrants.

    Germany is smaller than Texas.

  • Yeah, it's quite interesting, but it measures encounters without defining them, and it's very hard to get anything specifically useful for Texas.

    The data does more to show that Texas are being whiny about it, than what their criterion for invasion is. I fully expect a ComiCon or similar to drive as much tourists as the whole illegal immigration thing, and that Texans travel in similar sized crowds for any holiday. But there aren't any clear data on either, pointing to dangerous ineptitude, and emotionally motivated (or "hysterical" as it was called in the olden days) governance.

  • True, but it might get you far enough that you aren't "home", and might be "invading" a neighbouring city.

    But I agree, it's a weakly relevant datapoint, but the only other travel data I could find was that 250k texans fly for Thanksgiving, which was even less useful.

    I'm honestly baffled, how do you set policy, have informed debate or even identify business opportunities with so little reliable data?
