As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.
But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

There is constant talk about inflation, increasing prices, cost of living, etc. The real problem is not increasing costs, but wages remaining stagnant. The federal minimum wage has not been raised in over a decade. And you can bet that salaries have matched this pattern.
