Costs keep rising every single year but wages either haven't risen in absolute terms or have even declined, depending on what the job is.

99% of the working public are being systematically robbed every year they stay in the workforce. Kids who can't leave home are just one symptom. Pent up demand with a record number of empty houses is another symptom.

Something has to give and it can no longer be labor.
