Evolution of a headline...
NPR quotes some ordinary person:
> "It just feels like everything is rising at a scary rate," Morro says.
NPR's headline drops the "It just feels like" of the quote, and also lost is that it's some ordinary person asserting this:
> 'Everything is rising at a scary rate': Why car and home insurance costs are surging
HN's headline drops the quote marks, so it looks like it's a factual determination of NPR:
> Everything is rising at a scary rate: Why car, home insurance costs are surging (npr.org)
I saw this HN headline, with NPR saying "scary", and was expecting that experts had convinced NPR staff that something grave was starting to happen -- such as with inflation, employment, trade, or crime -- and insurance was the bellweather.
