For the first time in years, real wages are falling in the US!

Did you even thank Donald Trump?...

For the first time in years, inflation has successfully overtaken worker pay, allowing Americans to finally experience the thrill of working harder while being able to buy less!

The erosion of purchasing power is heavily driven by an energy shock from the war in Iran, cascading into a 28.4% surge in gasoline and a 54.3% spike in fuel oil.

If you ever said Trump's policies would bring "prosperity,"
please have the decency to delete your account, give your phone to a raccoon, (it would almost certainly contribute more insight),
and vanish quietly from political discourse.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

There's only one solution to that problem: Give the head of the BLS a crash course in propaganda! And if they won't do it, fire them! ;-)

Trump the Most Perfect said it out loud: he doesn't care about the financial condition of USians, then he shut down protests by threatening people with the mythical Iranian nuke.
