Well, the observation that prices will go up when salaries go up is not wrong; that that’s a problem is also not wrong. But this? Ugh.
Edit: dear downvoters: the “ugh” is about the article, I don’t think the gist of it is “good”.
Not necessarily, though. Sometimes salaries go up and prices go up. Sometimes salaries are stagnant and prices go up. Sometimes salaries go down and prices go up.
Prices go up no matter what because corporations are never satisfied with obscene profits. Their shareholders demand MORE obscene profits every quarter, everything else be damned.
It's not about making profits. It's about growing profits.
That's what the person you're respnding to said though?
