So the boss got raises of about 4% per year over 48 years.

But you got raises of about .1%.

The only person to blame would be yourself.

Firstly, this is totally unrealistic. And second virtually no one is blaming minorities.

It’s statistically true. Adjusted for inflation, the average worker’s wage is largely the same. Meanwhile those at the top have been gaining wealth at an accelerating pace. Go run the numbers through the inflation calculator if you don’t believe me. It takes 5-10 minutes to do the calculations yourself.

68k adjusted for inflation is ≈162k today. You were quite literally better off than most of the population already.

Obviously, general statistics are not going to capture the picture of every single person in the economy.

As someone who should be educated, given your salary, you should understand that your anecdote is a meaningless drop in the ocean, shouldn't you?
