Longshoremen Union Port Strike 2024 - NOOOOOO NOT MY HECKING BANANAS

[Falcos_Commisar]

I swear to fucking god there are people ITT stuck in a time warp where they still think 100k a year is a lot of money. i don't know if people are complete cope mode about the value of the USD or its just strait up crab bucket thinking. If you haven't been getting a 5-10% yearly increase in pay since 2016 then your real income has actually been dropping.

In most of the USA not ina coastal bughive $100k a year is good money even after taxes and deductions for healthcare and retirement.

Shit my first salaried job EVER was $60k a year and I managed just fine on that while paying for a brand new car and living alone.

Now I'll say that inflation is an absolute bitch and if your job isn't giving CPI inflation plus at LEAST 1% CoL adjustments a year get a new job ASAP.
