MODERATORS
Because being mean to them is the point. If they weren't miserable, the employed workers wouldn't be afraid of losing their jobs and might demand higher wages.
In fact the data shows that stronger social safety nets increase wages. That's why neoliberal governments - including our coopted "labor" government - try to gut welfare.
Oh and the "inflation" thing is a lie. Higher wages do not cause inflation, but if economists said that out loud, then the grift would be obvious, so we're given a BS line about the price of groceries.
God it would be terrible if groceries were to ever increase in price, wouldn't it? Might cause some kind of crisis.
