    It sucks that Gen Z is gonna have to keep shouting this from the rooftops, especially since it’s the same drum that Millenials have been banging for years now, but this has to keep being vocalized as a major issue. The stagnation of wages and the corresponding rise in CEO compensation in America is, frankly, disgusting. The Fed has been patting themselves on the back for maintaining a status quo that was broken before the pandemic.

    For the love of this country, please call your local representatives and make it clear how important legislation addressing the wage gap is, and keep calling them through election season. I know everyone has their eyes on the presidential election this year, but the race for the House is significantly more important for actually getting policy done. Maybe it just causes politicians to lie and promise relief that will never come, but at least then they’re recognizing it as an issue. The current lie just pretends that everyone struggling doesn’t exist.
