Stuff more expensive. Work no more pay good.

I'm not lucky enough to have a paycheck anymore since Trump and Musk laid me off.

Wtf is this headline

Cost of living rising but wages don't match

Why? That's easy! Too much avocado toast!

It's the economy, stupid!

"That's very much a wage story," Wadford said. "Since the beginning of the year, wages for lower-income households have continued to fall...while inflation continues to remain stubbornly high." In 2025, 29% of lower-income households live paycheck to paycheck, up from 28.6% in 2023 and 27.1% in 2023.

Why? It's a goddamn mystery.

Cost of living goes 📈 while the average salary goes 📉 in relative spending power.

Capitalism. There. Saved you a click.

Dumb poors again

It's capitalism. Not this president or that president. Unbound capitalism coupled with greed equals war against the masses (poor). It's been going on for a long time now. See pre-French revolution and even further back. It's a bit louder under trump because he is brazen about it.

That same article would have been blaming Biden if he was President. Trump seems to never get any blame directly in the media…

USA Today out there asking the dumbest questions where everyone knows why, even the rich causing it.

Yup, it's a real mystery.

Because minimum wage isn't tied to inflation and regional cost of living.

"That's very much a wage story," Wadford said. "Since the beginning of the year, wages for lower-income households have continued to fall...while inflation continues to remain stubbornly high." In 2025, 29% of lower-income households live paycheck to paycheck, up from 28.6% in 2023 and 27.1% in 2023.

LMAO saw a headline like this the other day: “corporate profits are up YoY, hmm how mysterious”

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "WHY"?
