These meager token “raises” are, for many if not most of us, wildly insufficient compared to the rising costs of everything (due in very large part to the aforementioned corporations and their year over year record profits).

Corporations paying poverty wages while reporting record profits probably doesn’t help either.

This was just as true four years ago, and it was true twenty years ago. I’m talking about the improvements under Biden:
