You don't eat Razrs. Food prices have largely increased, following inflation, while wages have not.
You don't live in a Razr. Purchasing a house is outside of the realm of possibilities for most people under 30. Rent does keep growing too, and guess what, your wages don't follow.
I don't put a Razr in my gas tank, but the price keeps skyrocketing.
You're just not looking at what people _need_. Nobody gives a shit about having an Alexa in their homes, that's just a bonus.
> some level of wealth inequality isn’t necessarily bad,
If I was born in 0 BC, and worked every day of the year until today with my current salary, I would be 8% of the way to being a billionaire. This isn't "some level of inequality". It's theft and is actively damaging for society.
