That dip was due to Covid stimulus. Also, more than 1% of Americans live on less than $3 a day.

    I don’t think this graph corrects for purchasing power. In China you can probably get a cheap meal for 3 American dollars. In America you can get maybe one hot dog for $3.

      in both countries you can get a hot dog for $1 but the difference is in the first country the vendor will actually be prosecuted when the cheap slop makes you sick

      (this is a joke, I’m sure you could get a quality hot dog for <$1 in China no worries)

        It looks like the only baseball park in the MLB selling a hot dog for less than $3 (including sales tax) is the one in Toronto Canada: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fpul77rukkkdd1.jpeg
