    Sure. But inflation is down, we didn’t go into a recession, and wage growth has been outpacing inflation for over a year now.

    This is good, we’re going in the right direction. Deflation would be way worse.

      We should raise the minimum wage until it is commensurate with the price gouging. All at once, since none of the corporations eased us into higher prices.

      But we have zero parties in this country that are willing to raise the minimum wage at the national level.
