Comment on Enshittiflation

It appears that the CPI has also been enshittified. Only explanation.

CPI site says you are lying. Just a head’s up, even the website has been enshittified.

Even independent researchers say that wages grew.

Maybe your perception has something to do with the lifestyle inflation?

  You made a claim, it was a lie. I responded to the false claim you made. Everything is not in fact cheaper, CPI went up 3.3% according to the actual source of such statistics.

  Since your first claim was a lie, I won’t bother looking up median wages… feel free to provide a source, but I bet you’re full of shit.

    Do you know what CPI is? CPI ISN’T ADJUSTED FOR WAGE GROWTH.
    
    I never said those things are nominally cheaper
    
    What time period are we talking about?

    Almost nobody is earning the minimal wage in the US
    
    Prices sure rose, but so did income, but in even faster pace
