even that doesnt tell the story well enough, blaming “corporate greed” is too impersonal. corporations are made up of flesh and blood real people making conscious choices that help themselves and hurt others. the greed is human and the humans have names, THEY are collectively AND INDIVIDUALLY responsible.
When the cost of essential goods is increased beyond the rate of inflation and the company in question subsequently reports all-time record profits, and those profits are going to people who are already in the top 10% of wealth holders whose daily lives aren’t actually impacted by not having that extra wealth, that’s greed harming the lives of everybody else. When someone working a standard 40 hours a week is asking for a cost of living raise because their current wage is below poverty income (which current federal minimum wage current is below that line), it’s basic human need to survive.

FFS. We’re just gonna take this lying down, aren’t we?
Dammit.
Interesting take
