    But we matched inflation last year! That means everything’s okay now doesn’t it? The inflation from previous years just goes away!

      And it’s totally not an average skewed higher by higher paying jobs right?. Us working class people didn’t get shit. I listened to a nurse the other day complain that they were only getting cost of living adjustments instead of a “real raise.” Like holy shit a lot of us got nothing. I’m making the same thing as I was during the pandemic and my money is worth the equivalent of $6 less per hour due to inflation.
