6. 0.91% growth increase in 2024

Mon Dec 30, 2024, 08:59 PM

Dec 2024

The past 2 years have shown slight upticks from the downward trajectory. I think that might be a rebound from the pandemic years. I hope it continues to drop, though we'd have to hear Muskrat talking about how this is a bad thing.
