That might be a classic case of "stop crying with your mouth full" or it might be consistent with the mind-set the Morale Conditioners want to establish.
That is, if you're properly vegan or don't observe Thanksgiving, you don't have those spending problems. Or perhaps, this is yet another subtle hint that some people aren't limiting their numbers? "Now we have the sports editor of the Orlando Sentinel saying that having to buy 12 gallons of milk a week means you have a problem with contraception, not inflation." Or that having a lot of people over is conspicuous consumption? "Jonathan Chait doesn’t see what they’re all bent out of shape about. What kind of weirdos would need to buy 12 gallons of milk every week?" It's not that the Militant Normals aren't seeing through it. "This is why the working class (increasing of all races and backgrounds) are fed up with liberal elites: they mock the hardships working people face, treat their concerns with contempt, lecture them about inane woke priorities, and condemn them as bigots filled with 'resentment.'"
Yes, that's all from Twitter and Twitchy. It is difficult to take this presidency seriously any more. Seriously, though, "dial back Thanksgiving" or "live more like Europeans" is consistent with what we experience elsewhere, such as putting up with less dependable electricity even if the solar and wind capacity isn't yet on line, or putting up with higher fuel prices to induce substitution to electric cars not yet safely available at scale.
