That’s part of CPI. Housing is like one third of it. The only time wages were higher vs. the inflation was during the pandemic, and that’s not a fair comparison since a lot of people lost their jobs so the average wage was affected
The average person now is much better off than in 2019 and it’s not even close
They’re wealthy enough to be able to absorb the increased cost without noticing while going “ACK-shually” to anyone who isn’t wealthy enough to aborsb the cost increase without noticing. Arm chair economists are fucking cancer.

You are both arguing from an anecdotal pov and he has data to back up his argument.
Someone is winning and it ain’t you.

That’s not true, inflation-adjusted wages are here:

You can see we’re up in comparison to 2019, and even if this chart cuts off 2023, we’re also up since 2022 anyway
Not an argument
