Cost of food has gone up---higher than CPI. However, your point is well taken. Retirees are "hurt" because of food costs and medical costs which are much higher than the cost of living increase you get with Social Security.
Perhaps employee health insurance has gone up for the employer. Only the business knows the truth about that.
Minimum wage HAS NOT increased in Florida.
I noticed the other day that McDonald's (Colony) charged 27 cents for an extra very small bit of syrup. I thought that was rather petty. Sometimes you sort of wonder if people think Villagers are part of the 2% rich in the Country.
