Salaries have outpaced inflation until recently.

  Don’t even bother coming here with facts. Inflation is just a vibe, dude. Never mind that real median personal incomes are up 10 percent in the last decade.

  > Salaries have outpaced inflation until recently. This is just not true.

    Take a look at a chart of real median income. Which while it is admittedly somewhat different from salary, is a hell of lot more than “nuh-uh” https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N

      "household income". Not individual. It used to only take one person working to support a family.

          Thank you, I did indeed mean income and not salary (though real median salary for full time workers has also outpaced inflation).
