Do you not understand how "just pay everybody more" would make already spiraling out of control inflation even worse? Having taken a high school economics course should be a requirement for people to get a license to post their opinions on the internet. The world would be a much better place if people understood the basic fundamentals of how an economy works.

I think the other issue is that "pay everyone more" comes with the addendum that MAYBE the super rich corporations and super rich individuals who have benefited tremendously from our capitalist system (see: massive profits and increases in wealth during the pandemic, when others were losing their jobs and struggling) should have to pay more in taxes, or should be compelled to not price gouge in order to make greater profits on the backs of human suffering. Granted, they're already price gouging even without people receiving higher wages, so we might as well give people more money to make up for it.
