Thanks for the suggestion. There are a lot of ways to twist that data because often good things a masked by cultural differences. For example, the Germans and Danes pay a lot for electricity by unit, which sounds like they are getting screwed until you also know that their homes are extremely energy efficient, which means their actual out of pocket would put them equal with the monthly's of those right in the middle of our 50 states.
But Yes, I agree. A basic comparison would be great.
Right now might be a really bad time to be lazy.
