How can workplaces keep up with inflation? It feels impossible as salaries have not gone up as much as inflation has. Something has to give eventually, right? What do you think?

They don't, and it's on purpose. In America, the wages are stuck. I won't get into "politics" but suffice it to say this: The people at the top only got there by stepping on bodies. And they don't care how many more they pile up to keep themselves higher than the rest. We are the bodies. We are ill, exhausted, and are not allowed to take care of ourselves. It only changes when we decide to stop playing by the rules they made up.

That's true, if you look at the numbers we're going backwards. And inflation is likely to start getting a lot worse as the tariffs kick in and the costs of everyday items increase. We could wind up in a scenario of stagflation, an economic condition not seen in decades.
