The issue starts when everyone gets a blanket pay raise across industries and communities for no reason.
And this is the failure of your theory. The raise is not “for no reason”, that’s just capitalism apologia talk. it’s because being in a community (aka: society) now costs more.
this is the thing that the HAVEs (and their apologists) won’t look at directly in the eye. When you can easily absorb rises in the COL, it doesn’t occur to you that it’s literally killing other people.
The raises in pay should mirror inflation. Period.
