Workers have been getting nickel & dimed for ages now, but it just feels like since the pandemic that everyone everywhere across every industry has just gone into overdrive with trying to get as much as they can from workers/consumers ("greedflation"). I don't know if this is the last big hurrah before capitalism collapses or what, it's just insane. And there doesn't seem to be any official government response to do anything about it, to help average people out, or to try to even bring prices down, nor does it seem like it's going to end anytime soon. I just wonder month after month, how much longer can this go on for? Are we getting the pitchforks out yet?

Capitalism collapsed over a century ago, that's why we have guardrails. We'll just keep putting up new ones as greedy humans find novel ways to scam each other, and bring the rest of along for the ride.
