[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wages can increase without costs increasing if income inequality/price gouging is reduced. Grocery prices went up 150% for some items. 2020 1lb turkey at walmart 3.14 to 6.72 11.98 to 16.48 3lb bacon waffles 2.93 to 4.19 [/quote] Except in a free market, the market determines the price of the goods, not some third party regulator. Grocers are able to charge these prices because people will pay them. If people didn't pay it, the prices would come down. Wages going up only exacerbates this. Same with stimulus and other "free" money. [/quote] IT IS NOT A FREE MARKET. See stimulus. See corporate sponsorship and loans. People have to buy food. Formula. Etc. I am showing that one of the cheapest places to get groceries on staples, non-organics (so just basic food) increaed that much. [/quote] And yet people are still buying...[/quote]
