Oh...definitely pull the knife out. Then throw up on the body. Then leave, while placing very clear handprints on the walls.

Is this "winning"?
Jerk off.
This is just bad running against worse. Everyone loses, no matter which one wins.
You don't seem to understand that inflation didn't reverse...it just slowed back down to normal levels. Anything new who didn't get raises equivalent to that inflation, now effectively earns less than they did three years ago. And inflation is still rising, just not as fast.
You have to catch up with those excessive rates in order to have the same level of purchasing power as you did before they went up.
The fact that you're accusing me of "working for Putin" just for pointing out basic economics, is really bizarre. I'm curious to know why you think those things are related.
Ok, so is it just that you don't understand how inflation works? If we just expect to "get a better paying job" without raising wages along with inflation, then we'd all be earning the same as people did a century ago, while the cost of everything would still go up.
Can you imagine how hard it would be, to afford things today, if you still only earned 25 cents a day? Yeah. We're heading in that direction. Either wages keep pace with progress, or a very large portion of the population is going to rebel.
Lol! How did Democrats focus on policy?
Actually YOUR way of thinking is why Trump won the election.
The stock market =/= the economy
The reason why Dems lost on the economy, is because they don't understand this basic fact of reality. Telling people that everything is fine, when they can plainly see that it isn't, is a losing strategy.
The real economy of paychecks, groceries and rent payments IS broken. And until it gets fixed, we will have people like Trump winning elections. Even if it's all a lie...they are the only ones acknowledging that anything is wrong.
It has been, for a long time.
That's because he doesn't know what that means.
The economy wasn't "doing fine" for more than half the population. Wages are still stagnant, and no one is proposing a solution to that, from either party.
Meanwhile the cost of living just keeps getting higher, which shows up on paper in the form of higher profits for the same companies that are no longer paying their employees enough to live.
We are accelerating towards a cliff. And all anyone is doing, is trying to take credit for how great everything is, while simultaneously blaming the other guy for everything that's wrong.
Raising the minimum wage absolutely does help fix things. But that help is temporary, because inflation never goes back down...only up.
The price of bread in 1930 was a dime. Now it's as much as $3 in most places. That's just how inflation works. If wages don't scale with that, then people will eventually starve.
But I agree with you on the source of the current problem. Companies have stopped scaling wages to match the current inflation rates. Tax relief used to be contingent on reinvesting profits back into the company...and one of the simplest ways of doing that was to increase salaries. That is no longer a clearly defined requirement. This has allowed companies to "reinvest" in all kinds of obscure, self-serving ways instead, leaving workers behind in the process.
