    Debourgeoisification of the first world working class will finally make socialist organizing possible again.

    It will also cause a further rise of reaction as treatlerites lash out in response to their declining lifestyles and blame immigrants or woke or socialism for eggs being expensive.

      Indeed, and we can see this happening both in the US and the EU with the immigrant witch hunts.

      Listen, Jack. Don’t play games with me. Look at the DOW Jones Index, tell me those numbers aren’t bigger, even I can still count that high.

    My wage growth outpaced inflation and I’m still living cheque to cheque with periods of negative balance.

    Still surprised that 60℅ of people had such increases

      The inflation measurements are significantly and systematically understated.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
