Inflation has many causes. Workers deserve to be paid a living wage. A CEO shouldn't make millions while the lowest paid workers get paid dirt.
Nobody is even asking for huge raises. They just want to be able to pay their rent, which a lot of people can't do.
If you have another solution by all means, feel free to share.
We should fight to end precarity and poverty, but as long as there are oligarchs who bounce around in yachts, jets, and rockets, we should keep fighting.
Universal affluence accompanied by abundant leisure is a possibility now within reach.
