Raising a child to age 18 now costs more than $303,000—a staggering 27.8% increase since 2023.

@Breaking911 The problem is, I don’t think you can ever get prices back down unless you compelelty destroy the economy. And even then idk how much it gets it back down. The only real answer is to 1) keep prices from going up any more and 2) large wage growth

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 Prices will never return when our national & global debt continues to skyrocket. Every dollar further in debt, the value of that currency is weakened.

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 If there’s one thing companies, love, it’s paying their people way more

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 i get some raises and they're all 2% basically.. Husband gets none (he's in a dying field)... yrs ago i would get 10% raises in 90s and early 2000s.

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 Then what stocks drop? Never gonna happen, we are done!

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 The CEO compensation and stock market prices will be higher though. The executive class will always raise the prices. And wage growth is not an option to them. They would rather gain more for themselves

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 Just like when the steam engine or electricity came along. You get 100x more productive and prices plummet. Tesla is about to save the economy with self driving cars at scale and their Optimus robot.

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 Oh no, will the CEOs not be able to afford their 5th vacation home mansion… nah, this is straight greed. 💯

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 Can’t bring prices down, but you can bring wages up

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 Wage growth is the answer. And wages are growing, just not growing fast enough to keep pace

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 This felt like a message of things to come. x.com/insiderwire/st…

@NormalGPolitics @Breaking911 Trump is working on it, which is probably the plan to let it crash. Just like his businesses default and then file bankruptcy
