It is wages that are adjusted for inflation, ie your actual purchasing power.Yeah that’s pretty much my experience. I was massively lucky a while back and managed to wrangle a pretty big pay rise, but it’s all been eaten up with cost of living. I’m glad I got it because I would struggle otherwise but man, it’s really noticeable seeing how much more my American colleagues earn. They get low to mid six figures, they’re taxed less, they have multiple cars, huge houses, etc. I’m just sort of middle class (and grateful to be, I grew up with not much, and I’ll keep working so my kids can do better than I did.) but it’s such a difference.
They always have a go at how much holiday we get and I throw it right back at them with how much petrol costs, and how much fucking tax I pay. I mean I will pay my taxes, if you’re spending it on the health service, looking after the elderly and sick and defending the country and all that. But to pay so much fucking tax and them use it to actively hurt the native populace makes me want to throw tea in a harbour, you know what I’m saying. Water that tree of liberty a bit.
BUT @Unredacted TND may I ask - even in America, what does ‘real’ mean in this phrasing. Real wages. What about the value of the money, the m1 etc money supply?
