return2ozmaInflation has created a dark cloud over how everyday Americans view the economy
cosmicsoupThis article seems to gloss over the fact that wages really haven’t risen with inflation. There may be more job openings than unemployed people, but do those jobs pay a livable wage?
CaptainSpacemanWhen will we start talking about thriving wages?
When people stop conflating needs with wants.
Why is the greed of the owner class often conveniently dropped or forgotten in such discussions then? You think billionaires need their billions?
In the end, the entire world is in poverty while 2000 people are rich beyond their wildest dreams.
Its awfully dismissive to pull the “starving kids im China” card
Uhh, no. My entire point was people conflating needs with wants and you’re doing just that.
Food security is more than just starvation fam
Yeah, those with food insecurity should get more before those without it.
The problem is, some people conflate “I can’t afford to eat out everyday” with “needing more money.” No. Just because you have to cook your own meals doesn’t mean your needs aren’t being met.
You can buy a pound of bologna for $1.50 at Walmart, for example. But the people I’m referring too are “too good” for that, even though so many others have less.
when out of control greed is controlled… probably never?
