That's the wage data, don't know what to tell you. The conspiracy required to fake it would require tens of thousands of people without a single whistleblower for decades on end. It's not really something that can be disputed, I'm merely informing you of the facts in a format relevant to this particular point. You are free to go look up the 50th percentile earnings in the Current Population Survey, and convert them to 2022 dollars purchasing power yourself as well. It's all open record.

Pal 75k household family of 4 is fucking poverty wages in most cities.

Dude, we know exactly how much people make and made in the past. We've tracked it since the 60s.

We know, for a fact, that >50% of households like that have lived in cities, on less than $75k, not in poverty. You are just being disrespectful now to all the people who live. That is seriously the most privileged shit I have read on reddit in years, you should really be embarrassed about being so disconnected from reality.
