No shit. Believe it or not, companies are in the game to make money. Not to try to hand out high paying unskilled jobs. Do you think stockholders would buy shares of a company that doesn’t make money?
Completey wrong. If you owned a business would you be happy about losing profits?
Most inflation is due to the workers making the same amount of the same product or service every year but wanting more money (i.e. a raise)for doing it. The money to pay the worker more per hour has to come from somewhere, right? Hence increasing the price of the product.
EDIT: I don’t want you to think I’m against employees getting raises, but it should come with a contract for more productivity or better quality. Something for nothing is what causes prices to inflate.
