    … they sit on the board of the major companies and say, “we need to raise prices.” Or “we need to decrease wages.”…

    They raise the price and refuse wage increases. Are you not familiar with how a corporation works?

      Why hadn’t they raised them before? Why don’t they keep raising them until prices are at infinity?

      Why don’t they lower wages to zero, or negative?

        They didn’t think they could get away with raising prices so far before. And they would pay us nothing if they could. Slavery showed us that.
