Outside of the very wealthy, virtually all working Americans income and standard of living is determined by wages. Unfortunately, wage growth has been at best mediocre for most of the last four decades. Since the Great Recession, nominal wage growth has been worryingly low, exceeding 2.5 percent only a handful of times through the end of 2017growing barely faster than inflation. But with the unemployment rate continuing to fall, many experts predicted workers were poised to finally see gains outpace inflation this year.

That hasnt happened. In fact, when adjusting for inflation, wages have actually fallen this year. Its not that wages havent ticked up at allthey have, in part due to increases in the minimum wage. But even with slightly faster nominal wage growth, workers have lost ground because inflation has picked up more than wage growth.

I feel like workers with a proper education are getting paid a lot more currently.
My wife and I both got higher salary now. I boosted twice this year due to yearly and contract design.

lol @ people not knowing tax credits...

I assure you no one one CE got more tax back in 2017 than me.

That means that I originally PAID more taxes throughout the year, but got it all back. Got it all back.
Also, swimming in equity.

I'm sure that half of CE still lives in mom's basement, or grandma...

As far as salary, even my wife makes over the median income for an entire household.
Did I mention she was a beautiful Korean woman?

Meanwhile half of CE humps their pillow.

So before you try to throw out a half ass insult about people being poor, know the facts.
Cause in the end you just look like a person full of hate that just trolls message boards trying to
get someone who might actually care angry...

It's just not cool anymore when everyone does it. You might as well still be doing the macarena (sp)

Also in before, 3 CEmen say I'm triggered, and what was that other thing? Oh yeah, at least 5 of you will be like this mf having a meltdown

Instead, post pics of your waifu pillow.

Is this a copypasta?

Are you ok?

Its inflated because people are stockpiling before the tariffs hit.

Weird response

I like your screen name... nah it's just copypasta format for conflict to enjoy.

Since I backed him into a wall, he has only one very predictable play left.
This is what you can gauge his IQ with. The fact that you can just perfectly steer him in any direction and he thinks he does it of his own accord.

I like how this topic got completely derailed because I pointed out how psychotic someone is acting

The passive aggressivity and attitude most of your posts about politics give away don't make you come across as perfectly balanced either, when it's not outright hostility and anger. Regardless of what you're replying to and whether you're right or not. You constantly attack the users, (when you're not insulting them), very rarely what they say.

Not the epitome of balanced online behaviour either. Pot, kettle, etc.

This fool. I remember his excuse for that post was "I was telling a joke and yall wouldn't understand it."

Ah now I see why I have him tagged as "racist clown"

Just another one of the usual suspects

Lmao the irony in this post is palpable. I've never seen you submit a post that wasn't whiny and obnoxiously angry. You even had a meltdown on Tadg's board and discord. Get some self-awareness, woman

So you're not denying it then. Instead, yet another bollocks statement serving as a way to deflect the point and attack the user. Which is all you do basically. Thanks for proving my point :]
