    Number 1 has issues.

    Yes wage growth in 2023 was higher than inflation by a margin of 1.3%. That fails to take into account the 7% and 6.5% inflation of '21 and '22. So people are still way behind in recent years.

    Also, while by income rates, “Gen Z are now wealthier than any previous generation.” That doesn’t include the drastic increase in housing costs. So while they do have more money, more still have to live with their parents, and delay starting their own separate life, than previous generations. Even that extra money isn’t enough.

      Facts have been set.

      Facts exist independently of what you wish yes.

      Wrong think will not be tolerate.

      You are perfectly welcome to cover your ears and hum real loud to shut out reality. But if you want to shut out reality WTF are you doing here.

      Fake news

      You sound like Traitorapist Trump. The guy that both Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz agrees is a “pathological liar”.
