Even independent researchers say that wages grew.

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

Federal minimum wage is still $7.25 and prices never went back to pre-covid but sure thing buddy

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

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.

https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

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?
