      Sure, if that’s even true, then good for you.

      Again, you can believe whatever you want but that doesn’t change how the real world works outside your head.

          Cool good for you (if that’s even true)

          Anyway, in the very real world that we live in, unemployment is kept at certain levels so capitalists can dictate wages and responsibilities. It’s not a secret. Bourgeois media openly panics whenever unemployment levels get too low.

              Yes, they are panicking because people have bargaining power to get higher wages. Are you still not connecting the dots there?

              I have a skill and I am not struggling like some of my other comrades are. That does not make me blind to the purpose of unemployment or to the fact that if everyone in the world had my skill set then that would mean there are a lot of important jobs that aren’t getting done, a fact that, curiously, has completely escaped you.

                  No, they are concerned about having to pay people more, because that cuts directly into their own profits. They are not more concerned about inflation then they are about their own loss of profit from having to pay workers more, unless they require so few laborers to run their business that inflation does actually cut into their profits more.

                  Feds are increasing interest rates to increase unemployment. They directly stated that. You can Google it if you don’t believe me.

                  Quite a bit has escaped you and it is endlessly entertaining to me.

                    It doesn’t cut into profits. What do you think inflation is? It is the increase in the prices of things. Since everyone is doing it, prices have been sky rocketing and profits have been going up. That is what they are trying to stop is the rapid escalation of prices. Yes, some people will lose their jobs but with our unemployment rate, they won’t be out of work long and most likely making more money. It is cute you don’t get how this all works but that’s cool You have a good night.
