Agreed overall, except I can't empathize with the 3rd reason lol. That just doesn't happen here in the US unless you get extremely lucky.

I know its a bit of a jest comment, but 8 years on since the Switch, people should have more money. I don't know how all countries work, but in Australia every year our wages go up 2.5% to 5% depending on what we negotiated, usually it follows CPI closely. Looking at my wage it has gone up 27% in the last 8 years.

I truly hope the same applies across the world (at leas tin developed countries or developing ones), otherwise some countries have catching up to do with living standard.

Unfortunately the US does not operate like that. Housing and cost of living has vastly outpaced the growth of wages over the years. And depending what state you’re in, your money does not have the same buying power (for example, living in California, your money does take you very far compared to living in Nebraska)

Federal minimum wage in America has somehow still not gone up in 16 years at $7.25/hour, which is anything but a livable wage. Some states have higher at like $15/hour, but still is hardly considered a livable wage.
