"Based on NBER estimates the 18000 lost jobs mean $432M direct annual wage loss (pre-hike $16/hr 1500 hrs/yr). Including 1.5x multiplier for reduced spending/taxes/rent circulation: $648M total economic hit. But raises (8.5%) for 545K remaining workers yield $679M net payroll gain for $1B overall boost"

Real median wages stagnated (1979: $16/hr adjusted; 2024: $17/hr) despite XX% productivity rise due to globalization and union decline. Housing prices soared 1000% nominally (median $23k to $400k) outpacing income via zoning and low supply. College tuition inflated 1200% (public: $XXX to $11k) fueled by federal loans. Dual incomes now essential for basics"

"@AntiLeftMemes I had roommates at his age. No one was rocking their own apartment. I was making $16/hr before I had my own place for $600/month. Still living paycheck to paycheck making $XXX every two weeks. But I had a $XXX VW bus and few bills other than student loans"
