Funny how this never applies to labor costs.
“You see, porky realized this whole time he was long overdue for a raise! Sorry, you’ll have less stuff because of inflation….wait, don’t ask for a raise because poor porky might have to go without! And we can’t have that!”
It’s infuriating trying to talk to liberals about labor as a commodity because they think everyone is on some PMC salary with benefits, not realizing people really do work minimum wage with no health insurance, vacation days, and so on.
