@Strandjunker Wait, what would the minimum wage be adjusted for price gouging - sorry, mistyped, inflation?

@FishNamedDog @Strandjunker Inflation is not an objective measure, and even if it was, is only a weighted average. Just as the billionaires’ wealth have progressed very differently from each other, it’s not very useful to use one number for everything from rent to food, and not taking product quality decrease into account.

@Strandjunker
US is a oligarchy for decades, the difference is that before they ruled in the shadows, not only US but US killing machine allover the world pushing their interests no matter how, now they think they don't have to remain in the shadows.
