    The price of food is going up because corporations want to maximize profit and WILL make the consumer eat the cost and feel the outrage because the lowest paid employees want a somewhat sustainable wage and not be on welfare while still working 40+ hours a week however they can.

    Rising wages does not need to be an indication of rising prices, instead they could be an indication a company is doing well. And that’s sorta how it works in startup businesses and stuff right? Eventually that stops because the people making the decisions are now too far removed from the lowest rung, depending how big they grow and how susceptible to greed.
