First of all this is bullshit because these companies make enormous profits that could and ought to be converted to wages, but if prices are being kept artificially low because workers aren’t being paid enough to live, then our reaction should be to welcome the price increases.

The shameless selfishness of people on this site is incredible. You’re willing to keep people on starvation wages to save you $5 every couple weeks? Fuck you.
But in any case Taco Bell made $2.08 billion in profits in 2019. That’s enough to raise the salaries of all its employees by $10,000.
The conversation should really be: can we afford to continue allowing capitalists to pocket the stolen wages of workers as socially useless (and even dangerous) profits?
