As far as I can see there is no giant fiat scam. It's one of things where "it is what it is".
Supposedly inflation has gone on a rampage from1950 to 2025, wages not keeping up, etc. Okay but what does that actually mean in terms of everyday life?
In 1950, someone on minimum wage would have had to have worked far more hours to afford a television, a flight across the country, a pair of glasses, a whole chicken, etc., versus someone in 2025.
You can make an opposite list too (more work time now).
There is no scam that I can see. The only measure is "hours worked to afford the things that are important to me". For some people that'll be going up over time, but for many others that'll be going down.
