Unfortunately, paying people more just causes prices to rise faster.

As soon as the ruling class sees anyone is capable of paying more, they’re going to charge more.

Increasing pay works for a bit, but then inflation catches up with it and eventually surpasses it.

The solution is to spend less, not make more. This is an issue we face as a society for putting greed on a pedestal.

Expect these problems to get worse before they get better. Every day the disparity in wealth grows, so it’s not as incentivized to serve working people over ruling people.
