    Wages are neither still nor declining. They are increasing.

      If they’re not increasing at an equal or greater rate than inflation then they’re not really increasing.

        Real wages are increasing, and real wages are adjusted for inflation.

      Until people can live in those wages it’s irrelevant.

        Wage increases are relevant to almost everyone.

        In fact, if a wage increase is not relevant to you then you are quite privileged.

          Privileged is settling for table scraps and calling it good.

            No one is settling.

            We used to be starving.

            Now we get table scraps. This is progress.

            Eventually, we’ll get our own meals.

            Then, we’ll be able to take food from the fat cats who were starving us before.

            Vote blue. You won’t immediately realize all your wildest dreams, but you’ll be moving in that direction.

              78% of people now view fast food as a luxury. We are not getting table scraps. McD customer median income has gone from $45k to $75k because we have no money.

              Blue has contributed to the starvation

            Nobody said anything about settling.

            Have you ever said to someone, “Every little bit helps”?

            If not, then congratulations. You are very fortunate.

              Always beware of the fact, that the only thing hindering an all-out revolution is your fear of losing the scraps they throw at you. Gore Vidal

                That’s a made-up quote.
