That’s a solid point.

I’d also love to see the dollar in purchasing power, as well (which should be -5 to -10% dependent on time period).

DXY just shows how well it was doing vs the basket of common global trade based currencies.

But that’s comparing to external factors, a person In the US holding Dollars saw their wealth go negative..euros are irrelevant because an avg persons costs saw increases in real terms in goods in the US that made the majority of purchasing power

Yup, but we can reasonably assume the others are based on USD valuations.

I did realize I got the "flip upside down" wrong, it would be the reciprocal instead, which for low percentages is nearly identical (1 / 1.1 = 0.909) whereas flip vertically gives (1 - (1.1 - 1) = 0.9)

It’s really interesting to me that the country that was founded by one of the most aggressive, and hardened groups of people in history, the Vikings, has with time become one of the most peaceful countries in the world and consistently ranks at the top of every one of these “happiness” indicators. No opinion. I just find that really interesting. Hell, Australia wasn’t exactly founded by a bunch of nuns either. I wonder what the correlation could be?

None of the animal proteins, obviously.

Plant proteins -- beans for instance, or nuts, actively remove carbon from the atmosphere.

There's even a usable amount of protein in rice and other vegetables. One cup of beans, and of rice and of pretty much anything green, plus a handful of nuts, gives you more than enough protein for the day.
