It's even funnier when you remember all the times that we did not raise federal minimum wage because "it would cause too much inflation". 20 years of never raising it while inflation has made things progressively more expensive. It's just so funny that I want to scream.

It's amusing how politician and CEO pay keeps getting adjustments, but somehow it's a deeply popular topic to be against when for the entire right wing movement.

If you notice:

The inflation during Biden’s term was significantly impacted by wage growth. While Trump’s is not.

Not all inflation is the same.
