Why not? In part we as consumers could stop buying high priced goods. We could refuse to buy expensive food and simply buy affordable ,in bulk items.
Or grow our own.
We could continue to watch the 60 inch tv instead of letting advertisers convince us we need to chunk it to buy the 72 inch.
alot of this rise could be avoided or postponed.
or we could ask our government to put a freeze on price in creases. or labor price increases. allow things to at least level out.

Unfortunately, in the same article it shows it leads to stagflation and unemployment. Both are worse.
The cost of living goes up not just on high priced items, it goes up on all items.
“Growing your own” is commendable but impractical. Most people don’t have the room to do so, but, more importantly, they don’t have the knowledge to do so.
One other thought, just because the cost of living is going up, why should I give up that 72” TV just because my neighbor can’t afford food?
just wanted bigger.
And I learned to grow vegetables in the strangest of places by todays standards. I learned it in the 7th and 8th grades and then as I went into high school continued to learn more because agriculture was part of our education. Imagine that? Knowledge that can be used to control your health, and life by growing food for yourself and others you love??
Take away to much profit, you take away investor incentive ,leaving everyone without.
Just an angry rat blaming upset the success of others. An old cunt regretting his poor decisions!
Probably filled with rats, bugs, and disease!
during a fucking pro-Palestinian rally over the weekend.
What a piece of shit! Fuck you Saggy!

As a retired person, does your retirement go up everytime you whine to your former employer? No,it doesn't.
Your parents kept a roof over your head as a kid for alot less money than you made on your job. The money was less but it did more.
ANd it is about you,me, the entire population.We are all affected by these issues.
Why would it not be? We were employee's.We made it thru,barely. so what makes these folks today deserve any better? They work less hours,lighter dutys due to automation and etc.
I don't see modern society deserving of any thing better than we had it economic wise.
If you are working a job, chances are you are in need of a wage to support yourself and your family.
Nothing has changed. Except people now think they are entitled to more than their fair share for the same work and effort as their predecessors. Sometimes even less effort because of modern tech
Our parents kept roofs over our heads, you kept a roof over your kids, and that is what the folks working now deserve. but why it's ok for them to expect so much more,so much better, than we had is beyond me.Most jobs are so much easier and so much safer now to do than they were years ago. less risk .
Young people wanting to walk into a job making the same salary or more than experianced people that have worked years to climb the ladder is what gives me this attitude. Work for it and earn it like those before you and stop expecting paradise as soon as the ink on your college degree drys.

It’s expensive slowly killing my self
Yeah people bitched and complained about it but do you know who didn’t bitch and complain about it? The people who are now making a living wage. We all got used to it and it is the norm now.
No there was not a mass exodus of people leaving the province. $15 is pretty well normal across Canada now.
I think everyone deserves a living wage.
I’m not sure about all of Canada because healthcare is a provincially run entity but I do know that in Alberta after the age of 65 all of your medication is also covered. Of course being in Canada your general healthcare is covered as well.
I have never in my life paid to visit a physician, a specialist that I was referred to by a physician or for any hospital services.
No further questions thank you.
“ Most of our beneficiaries are retirees and their families — about 52 million people in September 2023. But Social Security was never meant to be the only source of income for people when they retire. Social Security replaces a percentage of a worker's pre-retirement income based on your lifetime earnings”
Every year Social Security figures out the rise in the cost of living and adjusts (gives a raise) retirees pay. This has been happening before I started working.
I remember in the ‘80s economists sounding the alarm that as the “baby boomers” aged into retirement there would be a less and less percentage of working contributors to maintain Social Security at the levels that the baby boomers maintained the retirees before I retired.
