It's a dangerous game to play with commodities. It flies in the face of basic supply and demand. It can create a black market with hoarded things bought at lower prices and resold for a huge profit. Hoarding during the pandemic as well as GPU and Pokemon scalpers should be enough of an example to shut that shit down before it ever happens.

That's why you verify your setup without a network connection before declaring the project complete. Amateurs.
Honest and direct is the way to go. Saying something else like "they went to a farm" would just make you lose credibility later.
We already have interviews of parents whose kids had died of measles basically shrug their shoulders and say "yeah it sucks but we'd do it again because it's better this way." They have completely lost touch with reality at that point and are basically committing negligent homicide.
I want to see the courtroom showdown scene between Stratt and the copyright holders.
It would take well over a decade for a medium income household to save up enough money for a down payment on a house with their tax returns. And that's assuming it was placed in a safe investment the whole time like in CDs or bonds. The housing market's just too expensive. I can see the appeal of people using up their money when they get it if it means saving might take an unbearable amount of time, not that it's in their best interest to however.
I recall hearing once that Ohio was the most "average" state in the Union. The way you described it seems to fit that quite well.
There are way more factors at play here rather than a simple wage hike. The war in Ukraine caused a global shortage of wheat and a few other staple crops and fertilizer. The oil embargo on Russia also caused gas prices to climb even further.
Climate change has also quietly eroded some of the world's farmland causing a bit more food scarcity. Japan for instance recently couldn't produce enough rice to feed everyone which caused it to import it for the first time in a long while. I got to see this first hand with some ramen shops no longer being seen as "affordable" due to their bowls climbing above 1000 yen.
In the US we had the bird flu wiping out a huge amount of eggs and chicken, there was even a time when I'd see a 1 dollar surcharge on my local restaurant for any dish that uses them. The consolidation of the restaurant wholesale food market by Sysco and US Foods is also creating a chokehold on their prices. Trump's fiscal and international trade policies have wrecked a lot of the economy causing huge spikes in inflation too. Besides that we have plain old corporate greed with them taking advantage of all this as a smokescreen to crank up the cost of their food.
It'll only take Sony 4 years to release a new 2 hour long animated film this time. Glad they're getting faster at making these.
