    You’re using % in different ways which make it sound like groceries went up exponentially more than wages, which they did not.

    Groceries did not go up 150-200%. They are currently costing ~20% more. Depends on what you’re looking at.

      Sssh you’re not supposed to use the actual numbers

      You’re supposed to pull Trump-style wild exaggerations out of thin air, and then disappear and have someone else take over (apparently) when someone questions the reality you are presenting
