Now compare wages vs inflation, and wages vs GDP. GDP of developed countries has climbed dramatically since the 80's, while wage growth has slowed to a crawl relatively.
One must ask themself: where did all the money go?
It sure looked like it chartered a private jet to Venice Italy to rent out entire city blocks and get married in utter opulence, to me.
