I'm struggling to find numbers because Google has been enshittified and will only show me local rental advertising, but, like, if I understand this the cost of food, since Biden took office, is up like 20%, and rent is up ~30%, medicine and childcare are still totally unaffordable, and everything else is much more expensive. Meanwhile wages are up like, idk, 20$ a week or something.

Cause, this all adds up to me as people are drastically poorer than they were four years ago, but the economics perverts on bsky insist people should kiss Biden's shoes because wages are up 4.3% and "The ecnonomy is good."

Can someone help with numbers I don't know how to convince a liberal that people need to eat food or they'll die.
