THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA
Corporate profits up 47% since 2020.
Worker wages up 12% in the same period.
Meanwhile;
Groceries up 35%
Rent up 40%
Utilities up 28%.
Your paycheck grew 12%.
Your bills grew 35%.
The math is simple: you're getting 23% poorer every year even when you get a raise.
You can't budget your way out of this. You can't stack sats your way out of this.
The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses.
That's not an accident. That's policy.
