Wages actually haven't been stagnant in recent years they've gone up a bit. I think we are close to the 2% target for the rate economists say should be the target for inflation. I will say though if we can't get it under control more people will continue to move from the more expensive states and cities.

So the masses will just keep buying things and spending more while talking down on the people that refuse/can’t afford it.
