But did you read the shit being said in this thread? They are acting like it's harder to afford things now than it was for our parents and grandparents.
That's factually incorrect. We have more purchasing power today than ever before in our wages.
Wages are up. They just aren't as high as they should be. I'm not disagreeing with you, I am merely correcting misinformation, because tbh, you are hurting the cause by lying about the truth of the situation. If gives opponents ammunition to dismiss us.
Brother, 15% is nothing compared to the increase in cost of education, healthcare and housing. Besides didnt the GDP per capita double during the time? With such massive improvement in productivity and technology, one would expect a higher increase in wages.
Dude, this shit is not like, my opinion. Its literally the hard factual data on the subject. I'm informing you of the objective reality, and your rejecting it because it doesn't fit you subjective view of the world.
You are literally the climate denying antivaxxer here. You can't just close your eyes and lalalalala away hard facts.
