Why am I not surprised you didn't answer my question?
Because I knew you wouldn't.
Why won't you take a chance and surprise me?

Here it is again for your edification.

Aliska: Wages are tied to cost of living.

Me: Yes they are.

So, if wages go up, what happens to the cost of living??

[Aliska]

What happens to wages if the cost of living goes up? The price of gas has doubled. Are the working poor getting commensurate wages to pay for it? Most are not.

Maybe if you weren't acting like such a snot, I might tackle your question. I don't want to talk to you any more.
