There's no such thing as an "alternative fact".

Either it's a fact, or it's not. That's the meaning of the word.

Facts are Boolean.

The way I view it is more of a different perspective on a fact.

Like wages, to companies they’re boot strapped trying to maintain profitability while to workers their hours, wages, & compensation aren’t keeping up.

The truth is fiat is devaluing so it makes it harder for companies to compensate their employees fairly.

The actual Truth is an aggregate of these perspectives.

Uhm... What? How does any of this connect? Wages? Fiat? I didn't talk about money.

I was just giving an example, the truth is an aggregate of different perspectives.

It’s a fact that workers wage have increased outpacing recent inflation but it’s also a fact that for many workers their wages aren’t enough to keep up.

Companies are paying people more than they ever have but the problem is the money is so diluted that effective wages haven’t gone up in the long run.

Yes, facts are true or false. But how you see them is highly related to you perspective.
