They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    My company gave a temporary 2% raise to everyone last year due to inflation. This year they said inflation was not up, so they took away the raise. The audacity!

      Bad business leadership. It costs more than 2% to replace workers leaving en-masse because of salary.

      I sure hope take away doesn’t mean they literally decreased salaries back to the level they were at 2 years ago. Thats a literal pay decrease when raises below inflation are already functional pay decreases.
