    Most people saw an increase in their rent and groceries of 50-100% since 2019

    I’ve reported this as misinformation after the discussion in !news@lemmy.world

    Are the people who earned $7 in 2019 making a $10-14 minimum today?

    People who earned $7 in 2019 are currently, on average, making $9.24 - an increase that comfortably exceeded inflation. If you want to say we need to do way more because that amount of income is still a fucking crime, then that sounds good. If you want to say we need to get rid of the team that achieved that $2.24 increase, instead of seeing what they will do with another 4 years and even if the alternative is to bring it back down to $7, then I have some questions
