Inflation here? gas/grocery prices just continue to climb

Yeah, this isn't shocking at all. And I'm seeing some try to say that wages are keeping up, which is nonsense. Wages are going up, but they always...always lag inflation. Purchasing power is down across the board. People have to work multiple jobs in many cases to maintain a standard of living when at one time a full time job was previously sufficient.

I cant say wages are going up for my company, pay raises have gone down from 5% to 1.5% now and that started last year on top of a temporary salary reduction due to Covid. Lets talk job market, as there are jobs out there for my occupation as a project manager but I am hard pressed to find anyone to match my salary for a lateral move much less find a higher paying one.
