    Actually, everything (at least everything including in CPI) is cheaper.

    In fact, during current Trump’s term median wages grew, by all measures.

      It appears that the CPI has also been enshittified. Only explanation.

      CPI site says you are lying (US bureau of labor statistics). Just a head’s up, even the website has been enshittified.

        Even independent researchers say that wages grew.

        Maybe your perception has something to do with the lifestyle inflation?

          You made this claim, it was FALSE. I responded to the FALSE claim that you made. Everything is not in fact cheaper, CPI went up 2.4% for 2026 according to the actual source of such statistics.

          .09 for March alone

          https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

          Since your first claim was a lie, I won’t bother looking up median wages… feel free to provide a source, but I bet you’re full of shit… again.

          make sure your “source” adjusts for inflation

            Do you know what CPI is? CPI ISN’T ADJUSTED FOR WAGE GROWTH.

            I never said those things are nominally cheaper

            What time period are we talking about?

            1. Almost nobody is earning the minimal wage in the US
            2. Prices sure rose, but so did income, but in even faster pace

      Anybody can use tricky math and crow about the results. So, even though you are most likely wrong, it doesn’t matter. I couldn’t care less if every American tripled their wages under Trump because that tiny-handed, mushroom-dicked, orange pedophile rapes kids. Your achievements cease to matter once you put your dick in a kid. Your opinion ceases to matter once you defend someone who puts their dick in a kid.
