Econ with Sarah, PhD :
Yep I’ve been telling people this in my comments…. People are moreso feeling the strain of declining purchasing power than inflation. You don’t want deflation. You want people’s incomes and purchasing power to grow

I always say: if your company cannot pay its employees enough to only work one full time job to survive and thrive, then you don’t have a viable business. All the wealth is going to shareholders and billionaires.

Remember in 2021/2022, when wages were rising rapidly, and the Fed said workers had too much negotiating power and they openly said they were pursuing a goal of putting downward pressure of wages? I do. It worked.

The income chart looks a lot like the chart of union membership. We are at the end of a decades long assault in law and messaging against unions and in favor of large employers.

CNN just said the average TSA worker salary is $35,000, and I immediately wondered how we have any TSA at all. I can’t help but always feel that the big problem is greed. The rich pay the politicians to set policies that work more for the rich, and every year gets worse.

It comes from decades of unfettered capitalism

It came from the elusive trickledown affect that never trickled down. Wages haven’t grown enough since the 70s

It's greedy corporations maximizing profits and exploiting every opportunity to raise a price and never look back.

Like all other bad things in this country, it probably came from some poor policy decision enacted by Ronald Reagan

The minimum wage is my state is only $0.50/hour more than it was when I got my first job in 1995.

So a different take on “everything got better until Reagan was elected and then they got worse” graphs?

Taxing cooperations and tying ceo level salary to worker salary would be a good place to start.

Skyrocketing income inequality holds back any chance of fixing the affordability crisis! Prove me wrong.

It’s crazy. Min wage hasn’t increased since I was in High School 1989. My college was $20,000. Graduate school $20,000. First house was $150,000 in NYC. First job $45,000. All doable. Now tuition is over $100k. My first house sold for $850k. Incomes have not increased all that much.

Thanks for the video. Can you explain how workers are defined and why/if that graph doesn’t include corporate income ?

How much does automation in factories and other areas, effect the percentage workers take home compared to what a corporation makes?
