    No, they are concerned about having to pay people more, because that cuts directly into their own profits. They are not more concerned about inflation then they are about their own loss of profit from having to pay workers more, unless they require so few laborers to run their business that inflation does actually cut into their profits more.

    Feds are increasing interest rates to increase unemployment. They directly stated that. You can Google it if you don’t believe me.

    Quite a bit has escaped you and it is endlessly entertaining to me.

        Labor is the largest expense of a business wtf do you mean a wage increase “doesn’t cut into profits” lmao

        Businesses had an excuse to raise prices so they did, end of story. That’s not complicated in the slightest.

        The Fed is doing what they said they’re trying to do, increase unemployment rates.

        Have a good one.
