15.3% REAL wage gains from 2019-2024.
This isn't total Stancil Victory. This is totally Stancil Conquest.

They raised rent so you'd blame "the economy", and by extension - Biden.
Example: Go to a diner in Des Moines and say "real wage growth was +15%."
I'll guarantee you'll hear, "but what about inflation, smart guy?"
Apparently they started sucking at their jobs after January 2025.
Normies know what a recession is. But "recession" is a way more jargon-y term and a more complicated concept than just "income adjusted for inflation."
Just need a good name. Just need branding.
All you need to do to turn jargon into regular parlance is use it a *bunch* in public.
I downloaded the data set that EPI is using and most of the growth is from 2019-2021.
As soon as you remove that, it paints a very poor picture for 3 years leading up to the election, especially if they excluded price increases from this updated wage data.
There you go.
OP suggests this is Full Year 2024 (i.e. 12/31) which makes a big difference when trying to parse the effects of the pandemic?
In 1945 a similar thing happened with returning vets and the Truman admin literally went build crazy putting up as many houses and suburbs as they could, tank facs made cars
I just mostly wanted to rib the guy for asking that when the original screenshot says its been adjusted for inflation multiple times.
