It’s trendy now to talk about the “affordability” crisis. That has become a loaded political term and a lot can be said about its misuse. But “affordability” is usually seen as part of inflation, government over-spending, national debt, and related factors.
But a big part of why things may not be “affordable” is because wages are artificially suppressed. People deserve better wages. And better wages are NOT the thing which drives up inflation. The “affordability” crisis ends when people get paid better.
The people are forgetting that the prices aren’t going up, necessarily.
I mean yeah, there are business owners out there taking WAY to much of the profit but the ultimate truth is that the value of our dollar is going down.
And we’re still getting 90s paychecks.
