I'm sure the data presented it probably mostly accurate. But it doesn't take into account that a job, let's say construction laborer, that was paying $10/hr in 1996 isn't making $30/hr now (probably closer to 18/hr in 2024). Or that housing has increased exponentially. Or that you probably have several subscription services that you didn't have in 96. Or any of the other thousand ways they've deceptively fucked everyone.
