Thanks. Hit the paywall, and, for better or for worse, I'm never going to subscribe to GQ, ah well.

Thanks. We need to look beyond GCs, too. It's partly subcontractor Gross Operating Surplus increasing as a percentage of net receipts and value added

It's shrinkflation. The turkey is more expensive and they took many goodies away from this year's meal.

Turkey $/lb 0.97 0.88

Walmart's 2025 page claims this price is lowest since 2019 but price per pound is higher. So price is lowest because it's less turkey.

Value Added excludes material and services inputs as well as work that is subcontracted out.
What is left?
Labor Compensation (including white collar comp), taxes/transfers, and "Gross Operating Surplus," which is a crude measure of gross operating income.

* disclosure: I work with such folk. Some have been trained by legacy media to be wary of interviews. Others will still take a shot at speaking out contrary to the received wisdom of the wonk class and journalists, who have a somewhat interdependent relationship.

Was hoping to get the moon up last night because it was so good and no one cares about the moon the next day, but still, here it is.
