Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout
galloog1@lemmy.world 11 months agoThat is categorically false and it’s dishonest to suggest so.
GDP is at the highest rate in years. We are at full employment. Participation rate is the highest it’s been in 50 years. Wages outpaced inflation while inflation was crazy high helping debtors and the working class at the same time.
Your ideology blinds you.

Do you have a source on “wages outpac[ing] employment”?

Yes, his ass. Hourly wages in 2018 were about 2$ more compared to the 1960 and the increases went to the 90th percentile of earners.

To be fair, if you look at the median graph it does go ever so slightly up, which I think qualifies as “outpaces.” It is certainly a lot less dire than if inflation was outpacing wages, at least wages keeping pace with inflation is sustainable.

Most people get confused because inflation is already accounted for in most reported numbers.
