If productivity is going up wages should go up. However what has been happening is that the extra money has been being funneled into the pockets of the rich. I’ll bet you the board and senior management ain’t giving themselves inflation based pay rises.

That’s not how inflation works. Inflation going down means they just stay around 80 and in theory your wages gradually come up so 80 now feels like 40.

I would love it if they just called it Half Life 4
