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.
