Event study figure showing incomplete passthrough. If you actually read this text, drop me the funniest emoji you can think of as a comment.
Just a screengrab of the abstract and title of this paper
Picture of average gas prices for the last 18 months. Ouch.

People at a protest against the worst president and congress I’ve ever lived through
Here’s how to prune crape myrtles. Grab your sharpest objects and start whacking. Picture is of a doofus holding the root crown of a 15 year old tree that was planted here before we moved in.
Climate change is kicking our asses, and it seems like nobody I live near gives a shit or notices. It hit 100 today in Oklahoma, and this is a map that is lit bright red with temperature readings
A redbud in flower at sunset. You can see a bee enjoying themselves and having a lovely supper.
If you’re reading this, then that means you might now be able to see how crazy gas prices have increased in just the last week. The far right of this graph basically looks like a straight line upwards, reaching the highest price in 18 months. I drive an EV so I technically shouldn’t care. Shout out to all the SUV drivers

We sent in a revision the day before Friday the 13th because we don't need this paper to be in peer review for more than the one million years it already has been
The Chiefs are making taxpayers from a new state hand them money to buy a new stadium they don’t need.
This chart doesn’t matter to you. It’s of gas prices in a city that’s in a country you probably don’t live in, but it took me like 2 hours to make so I’m proud of it.
Definitely a real picture of the northern lights and not at all a squiggly lines pretending to be northern lights.
