The median salary today is $65,000.
In 1970 it was $8,500.

Looks like progress.
Until you measure it in gold.

1970: 236 ounces
2026: 15 ounces

the measuring stick rots, so you measure wages with it and wonder why people feel poorer. what happens when enough people switch to a stick that doesn't decay.
