    Even independent researchers say that wages grew.

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

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

      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
