Year over year there’s a 17%~ inflation since 2020. Has there been a 17%~ increase in salaries since 2020 as well? No? Then it’s not good enough. Better than nothing, but that’s still not good enough.
Yeah that’s precisely what I said. Great reading comprehension there. It’s not a raise if it doesn’t keep up with inflation. Workers deserve fair compensation, not crumbs.
If you’re on fire and someone pisses all over you, are you somehow supposed to be grateful? The rich are pissing all over us and expect crumbs to suffice.
Why are you not outraged that it’s such a pittance?
With this raise, since 2020 federal wages have risen 15.4%, and that’s for someone who worked the same job that whole time and didn’t advance. Why are you outraged at Biden giving a 5%+ raise this year to federal workers? Like why in the living fuck is your anger so utterly misdirected??
Over the last 12 months inflation was 3.1% and the raise is 5.2%. It’s just lagged, they now have to get raises above inflation for a while, and they are.

That’s the total inflation since 2020, not year over year. If it were year over year the total inflation would have been about 60%.

Do away with this raise then, I guess? Why are you shitting on positive change
