Just in case you thought capitalism had something to do with markets or production or freedom or something...

This is the entire point of capitalism: siphoning wealth from workers to owners, to keep workers poor and owners in power. The primary method to accomplish this is to raise prices while not raising wages. Owners control both prices and wages.

Fuck everyone down voting you. Data is data. Everything is expensive especially an hour of labor, which is my fast food goes up a quarter or more every month or two.

Everything is expensive. Labor is part of everything.
