        Already ate crayons when food ran low. Too tired from work for unnecessary grunts.

    “That’s very much a wage story,” Wadford said. “Since the beginning of the year, wages for lower-income households have continued to fall…while inflation continues to remain stubbornly high.” In 2025, 29% of lower-income households live paycheck to paycheck, up from 28.6% in 2023 and 27.1% in 2023.

    It’s capitalism. Not this president or that president. Unbound capitalism coupled with greed equals war against the masses (poor). It’s been going on for a long time now. See pre-French revolution and even further back. It’s a bit louder under trump because he is brazen about it.

    That same article would have been blaming Biden if he was President. Trump seems to never get any blame directly in the media…
