Stuff more expensive. Work no more pay good.
Needs more crayon and grunts
Already ate crayons when food ran low. Too tired from work for unnecessary grunts.
I'm not lucky enough to have a paycheck anymore since Trump and Musk laid me off.
For real, who wrote this headline? Elon Musk? Grok? Jeff Bezos?
It is because of the entire predator class. The democrats have done fuck all since they serve the same masters.
Trump, Republicans and corporate greed.
Wtf is this headline
What do you expect from McNews?
Cost of living rising but wages don't match
Why? That's easy! Too much avocado toast!
Capitalism. There. Saved you a click.
Corporate greed.
It was starting to go down under biden, but they wanted their little trade war.
It's the economy, stupid!
Why? It's a goddamn mystery.
Like, not every grim headline makes me laugh out loud. Well done, satirical newspaper ‘usa today’.
Cost of living goes 📈 while the average salary goes 📉 in relative spending power.
It's capitalism. Not this president or that president. Unbound capitalism coupled with greed equals war against the masses (poor). It's been going on for a long time now. See pre-French revolution and even further back. It's a bit louder under trump because he is brazen about it.
Dumb poors again
That same article would have been blaming Biden if he was President. Trump seems to never get any blame directly in the media…
