Tie housing costs to wages.

You wanna raise the rent? Go talk to the bosses and convince them to raise wages.

You wanna cut wages? Go talk to the landlords and get our rent down.

I am more in favor of tying wages to inflation.

It's a day broader metric.... That way, slave wage companies can't screw their workers by charging out the ass for the services they're providing for next-to-nothing. Then the business owners can fight with everyone about keeping the inflation rates low so they can enjoy paying their workers less.

Let these two asshole groups duke it out amongst themselves.

Remember if your yearly raise isn’t more than inflation, you’ve lost money.

Happened to me for a couple of years through COVID, where I got no raises for a few years and let's just say, I don't work at that company anymore.
