This is exactly the kind of rslurred take I expect from burgers. Wage growth has actually been strongest at the low end, for the first time since the 1970s iirc.
Meanwhile, big tech is suffering because the ZIRP party is over and they have to cut the deadwood and show profits for the first time in decades.

You have to forgive Jimie. She's from a third world country (like France or something I don't remember) She carefully listens to American news, regularly watches American political debates, and has a rigorous understanding of the entire American political system greater than the vast majority of voters. But unfortunately she will never fully understand what it's like to be truly American.

This is the Fatal Conceit of not adjusting for inflation. The Weimar republic was completely and utterly r-slurred, but they had wage growth technically despite having less purchasing power

Real wages are growing especially at the low end
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Only in the sleight-of-hand kind of way that labor cost is synonymous with a system's wages, and labor costs are a singular input of production.
In other words, so long as labor costs grow faster than other production inputs, we can say that wages outpace the growth of prices, though this doesn't help most Americans.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I mean when they go out and measure wage growth for the bottom percentiles and they measure price growth, the measured wage growth is greater than the measured price growth. There isn't really any slight of hand there?
It seems like you have some kind of model in mind but it sounds like you're overlooking productivity growth, which explains most real wage increases. In other words in your model of the world it's impossible for real wages to ever increase over the long term but that's clearly not true; real wages are much much higher now than they were 100 years ago, obviously.
???
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
I don't believe we've seen labor productivity rise to the extent that we've seen labor costs rise.
You could argue that total productivity has grown higher than wages, though it's easier to attribute these gains to capital improvements.
To the extent that a state should distribute the fruits of capital productivity is a political question, but for those of us not within the bottom quartile, the significant increases in labor costs hasn't been positive for QoL.

I dont care about the low end. They're low for a reason. I care about the middle end. 4 years ago I could spend $60 on groceries for a week. Now that same set of groceries costs me $120. I dont care if my wages go up if my purchasing power doesnt. This is Biden's fault for not reigning in the fed.

But a Fortune 100 CEO earned $1,000 just by inhaling the very same moment I cleared the check!

The actual day to day economy for real people is worse under Biden for the vast majority of Americans. This election is such a layup for Republicans if they played it right. Just play the clips of Biden and co in 2021 saying there is no inflation. Then show them passing massive blowout spending and everything that has ensued. That will work for the r-slurs that somehow sit on the fence in a general election.

See, this is what I mean when I say that liberals need to work on their tone.
If they just said, "nah, the economy is fine. Don't worry about it. Let's talk about something else," then skeptics and even some rightoids would be prone to trust them.
But no, the moment they encounter any sort of dissension or opposition from the right, they start to sweat and pace back and forth and talk way too loudly and get flustered, and they adopt this imperious, lecturing tone, "How...HOW...HOW CAN YOU THINK THERE'S A RECESSION? There...there clearly isn't one! Here, read this pamphlet about it! I just...I just can't!!"
Of course if you're undecided, and you encounter someone that furious and agitated, you're not going to be easily swayed.
It's like the mask thing. Here's how democrats should have handled the mask thing: "look, there's a contagious disease. It costs you nothing to wear a mask. Let's band together and act like adults. We good? Okay. Let's move on to some other problems."
But no. The second a single republican expressed skepticism, democrats put on their drill sergeant hats and stick a scolding finger in your face, "OH YEAH? WELL I ORDER YOU TO WEAR A MASK! I'LL PASS LEGISLATION TO PUT YOU IN JAIL IF YOU DON'T! HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHY WON'T YOU COOPERATE, MAGGOT?!"
