Fuckers always trot out that wage growth shit. They truly don't understand that most people's wages have not increased. If they have they likely have not even kept up with inflation.

I'm an accountant and the measurements used in economics are kind of backwards, they worry about payroll cost, that's true but what the fuck? They measure economic growth as though companies are people and people are expenses.

We need employee owned businesses all round and then that measure might make sense. But as it stands now, it's literally measuring inequality.
