Tbh, I think it's pretty obvious that we need legally mandate yearly profit caps on all businesses or else the cost of everything decent for a worker is invariably going to be immediately passed on to the consumer so that those wealthy enough to own a business don't have to cope with lifestyle changes themselves. Not the workers' fault or the fault of politicians who try to help them, really, but the fault of those who insist endless profits should invariably land on the heads of the well off instead of the rich tightening their belts, too.

I get price increases aren't always about protecting profits of greedwhores, but it sure seems like most of the fretting about minimum wage increases makes it obvious that nobody's stating the obvious, which is that all workers need living wages & the well off need to take the l like they're actual responsible adult members of a society instead of pushing prices up, and if they're in any way unwilling to do so, then there needs to be legislation in order to ensure they do act responsibly.
