Inflation of course is a normal part of cycle but today it is nothing more than a blackmail word used by the corporate class to excuse being dicks to employees.
Reagan busting the air traffic control unions was where it started, and 40 years of deregulation and "don't tax the rich" is why we are where we are today. It is great to see the actors unions/writer's unions and auto workers strike. Unions built the middle class and Reagan destroyed it.
It is so bad today that even the real estate monopolies are making it impossible for people to afford rent and mortgages. And the GOP would have everyone believe less for you is good for you.
