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.
That same article would have been blaming Biden if he was President. Trump seems to never get any blame directly in the media…
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.
Why? It’s a goddamn mystery.
Like, not every grim headline makes me laugh out loud. Well done, satirical newspaper ‘usa today’.
Wtf is this headline
I’m not lucky enough to have a paycheck anymore since Trump and Musk laid me off.
Capitalism. There. Saved you a click.
Lol “why”…
For real, who wrote this headline? Elon Musk? Grok? Jeff Bezos?
Cost of living goes 📈 while the average salary goes 📉 in relative spending power.

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.
Cost of living rising but wages don’t match
Why? That’s easy! Too much avocado toast!
Don’t forget starbucks coffee.
It’s the economy, stupid!
“That’s very much a wage story,” Wadford said. “Since the beginning of the year, wages for lower-income households have continued to fall…while inflation continues to remain stubbornly high.” In 2025, 29% of lower-income households live paycheck to paycheck, up from 28.6% in 2023 and 27.1% in 2023.
inflation
Corporate greed.
remains stubbornly high
It was starting to go down under biden, but they wanted their little trade war.
Dumb poors again
