#Medicareb
Since 1978, cost of living has increased 414%, ie, today's $ has the purchasing power of @ 19¢ then.
Since 1978-79, hourly pay (inflation-adjusted) for a typical U.S. worker has increased by 15-29%.
In '78 the MedicareB premium was 3% of a SS check; today it's 10%.
Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978?

50%? 100%? 500%?

Try 1,316%

Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
