A lot of us aren’t getting paid a bit more. Especially those of us in rural industries. And yeah goods and services are a bit more, rent is a lot more, even in places a lot of people don’t want to live.

I got paid more the last two years but waaaaayyyyyyyy under inflation levels. Wish I was on social security.

Ok, but a lot of people are, too. More than aren't.
