Let’s say it plainly, too many businesses are using every excuse in the book to rob the people blind, and it’s time someone called it what it is, Greed, Plain and simple.
Every time the government announces a wage increase, the very next thing we see is businesses crying out, “Oh no, we must raise prices!”
As if people getting a little financial breathing room is some sort of economic threat.
Why does every step forward for the working class have to be hijacked by business greed?
The purpose of wage increases is to give people a chance, a chance to live a little better, to afford basic needs without drowning in debt, and to maybe even save something or provide their families with decent meals.
But how does that happen if, every time wages go up, prices follow like a shadow?
It makes absolutely no damn sense for companies to raise prices simply because people got a few more dollars in their paychecks.
That’s not economics, that’s economic manipulation.
And don’t let them fool you, these companies already,
* Raise prices daily,
* Spike prices around holidays and special events,
* And pretend supply chain issues justify every price tag.
Let’s also talk bulk buying, businesses buy products in bulk, meaning they receive items at a lower cost per unit.
Yet, they charge the public exorbitantly, and worse, keep climbing higher, why, because they can?
So let us ask the uncomfortable question:
Where are the price control officers?
Where are the watchdog organizations?
Where are the government bodies that are supposed to protect the people from corporate gluttony?
If the government claims inflation is slowing down, then why are businesses still raising prices, what are they trying to do, suffocate the people completely?
It’s not about supply and demand anymore, It’s about control, exploitation, and unchecked greed.
These businesses are not struggling, they're raking in profits while the average person is calculating whether they can afford gas or groceries this week.
We need accountability, we need regulation, we need truthful and bold leadership that won’t bow to profit-hungry conglomerates.
A wage increase means nothing if businesses weaponize it against the people.
We must demand that businesses justify price hikes, no more vague excuses, no more emotional manipulation, no more "we have no choice", because they do have a choice, and they keep choosing profit over people.
It’s time to call it what it is, Robbery under the disguise of business, and we’re not having it anymore.
Enough is enough.
