You're the one lying saying inflation is up over 3% every year. It isn't. So stop lying. You're anecdotal situation doesn't change the facts. Historical inflation doesn't go off your annual apartment complex rent raises. |
The CPI does not include the cost of housing (rent or house prices) stud.
The real cost of living, for a real human being, includes the cost of their housing whether they rent or buy.
So if your rent goes up $100 a month every year for 10 years and you're paying $1,000 more a month for rent and your minimum wage is the same as 10 years ago, you are fucked, as are the current minimum wage earners.
