You don’t seem to understand that inflation didn’t reverse…it just slowed back down to normal levels. Anything new who didn’t get raises equivalent to that inflation, now effectively earns less than they did three years ago. And inflation is still rising, just not as fast.

You have to catch up with those excessive rates in order to have the same level of purchasing power as you did before they went up.

The fact that you’re accusing me of “working for Putin” just for pointing out basic economics, is really bizarre. I’m curious to know why you think those things are related.
