Perhaps over the small window, but still lagging over the longer. So ultimately using the shorter window is data cherry-picking. Yes, the iPhone has a definitive start so the window makes sense, but keep in mind citizens / workers / taxpayers / consumers were plenty behind inflation at that point. Anecdotally, I don't think I know anyone who believes they're ahead of inflation. |

There was a period in the 80s where wages fell behind inflation, but that has long been made up for and then some.

That's the human condition, though, isn't it? Always thinking it needs more.
