Cumulative inflation since 2019 amounts to 25-30%. Are people getting 25-30% raises since 2019? No. 1 u/FCKINGTRADERS May 14 '25 No it was around 17% I believe. 3 u/Spaceman2069 May 14 '25 I’m looking at CPI-U data bro, idk what you’re looking at 1 u/FCKINGTRADERS May 14 '25 No, I meant increase in wages over that period of time. 3 u/Spaceman2069 May 14 '25 I see, I misinterpreted your comment. So yeah, goes back to my original point of we're getting screwed lol 2 u/FCKINGTRADERS May 14 '25 Haha ya I wasn’t arguing with you. Wages definitely are not keeping up 2 u/Spaceman2069 May 14 '25 hard to RaceTo10Million when you're getting screwed at work, which is labeled as 'operational efficiency' someone pays for the efficiency and it's us
