The original claim was that "The way real wages are tracked also undersell this trend"; they are calling CPI into question. Personally, I don't really have an opinion on whether CPI is effective here, but saying "CPI-adjusted wages have increased" is clearly a stupid argument when somebody questions the efficacy of CPI |

The original comment makes no mention of CPI. It only mentions that certain categories of goods have outpaced wage growth. Of course you're going to get that result if you cherry pick your basket.
