Raise pay for all or reduce prices to match current minimum wage

The Issue

I’m a mother of five. I’ve been taking care of myself and my children for 18 years. One of my sons is autistic another has CAH. If I can’t get his meds he will die. There’s no reason for corporate greed to destroy our planet and blame It on “global warming”. Whether you’re rich or headed to poverty, freezing to death and starvation, our graves will all be 6’ deep. Make no mistake: Companies are using inflation as a smokescreen to hike prices and rake in record profits. 2021 was the most profitable year for American corporations since 1950.

CBS news report: Even as workers have been more industrious — helping drive corporate profits, the stock market and CEO compensation to record heights — their pay has flatlined, or even declined when factoring in inflation. If the minimum wage had kept pace with gains in the economy's productivity over the last 50 years, it would be nearly $26 an hour today, or more than $50,000 a year in annual income, one economist notes.
