The 1% grew their wealth during the pandemic. It's disgusting.
I feel like an idiot right now. I started my job, a contracted yes, but Government benefits job. Not a great starting wage 14.50. That was in 2018.
I know make 17.53.
Now I have a pension and great benefits that offset the lesser wage in my mind.
It's not that: Let's adjust for inflation.
In today's dollars 14.50 is the equivalent of 17.51.
My current wage 17.53 is the equivalent of 21.29.
THEY have recently doubled their entrance fee from 5.00 dollars to 10.00.
5. in 2018 is equivalent to 6.07 in today's money.
Needless to say, they gave themselves a COLA raise, where is mine.
