      Really? Because everyone else disagrees. I wonder what numbers magic they used to make that particular line go up.

      Oh look. Reagan redefined CPI and we’ve been getting gaslighted for decades.

      But also the median household tells a different story. Just tracking wage doesn’t tell the whole economic story unless you want to believe every American Human is working a wage job. I do admit it’s my fault for using the word wages. But there’s a reason we track median household and not actual wages to get a general look at the health of the Economy.
