Not true. Just look for your people on the chart. If you have no people on the chart then your people voted for people on the chart.

Yes it is.
Your chart about the presidency is irrelevant.

My finances are just fine. I make an average of 120k now slinging cardboard. House paid off since 2017. No debt, credit score over 800. Just bought my 4th new vehicle in 7 years, a 70k truck. I'm not seeing where things are so dire. It's personal responsibility and the choices we make, not who's in office.

You responded to a post showing real wages have gone down by saying your wage went up.
I simply explained to you that your real (inflation adjusted) wage has actually gone down.
If you're happy with your wage going down, then I'm happy for you friend.
Is everyone as blessed as you?

Thank you friend. Yes I'm happy with my wages. I've never made more. I'm good, my family is good, my friends are good. I'm living the dream over here my friend. Would a dollar or so more really change your life that much?

I am blessed, I agree. That's why I don't complain over little fluctuations in wages or inflation or such. I get to be a blessing to others.
A person making $12hr would greatly appreciate $13.

The only people making $12/hr are in Republican controlled RTW states.

In inflation adjusted real wages you made more per hour in 2017 than you do today. I literally just explained that to you.
LMFAO

Well that's nearly 1/4 of my pay now. Even when I began driving at UPS, starting wage was $18.75. Four years later, it was high $30s. Now it's $44+. If that's not enough money for you, then perhaps something else is wrong? I want for nothing. I love my job, even with the BS of UPS, the hard work and long hours. This rising tide has lifted my boat and those around me.
Yes prices go up and down. It takes $100 to fill up my truck, premium fuel. So what, I make that in like 2 hours, and I work about 50 of them a week. How is an extra 2 or 5 dollars going radically change your life, as if then you could buy that mansion or yacht? Live within your means, life is grand. If I was successful in life making say 50k, how could I suffer at double that?

I was just on a Mediterranean cruise. That ship was like 4 football fields long. If you have a big enough boat, little waves don't effect you much. Now if you're in a lil dingy, that's a different story. UPS pays big boat money. What am I missing?

2017 = $18.75
2024 = $44.31
Maybe my math is off, but that's more than enough dough to weather inflation.
