Perhaps you didn't understand what "real wage gains" means? Because that doesn't track based on the article.

Additionally, I'd be better off owing 999 than 1000, objectively.

I'm sorry. I thought you were legitimately asking for help and not "just asking questions" trying to have a debate.

I have no interest in getting into an argument or what you feel is a "debate". I was just trying to help you understand some things you said you didn't understand.

I just feel like that behavior is dishonest and won't lead to productive discussions.

You:

Especially in cases like this where the gain in wages is outpaced by inflation…

The article:

Young high school graduates experienced 9.4% real (inflation-adjusted) wage growth between February 2020 and March 2024.

Yea, I hear ya.
