I’d assume carers will also be taking a PhD in economics before they lecture the BoE on how to tackle inflation.
After the 2008 crisis, you would think the banks would have exercised pay restraint to those at the top, it lasted a few years but it crept back slowly and is possibly even worse now. It’s also well known that the rich have got richer and the poor have got poorer since 2008, including during the pandemic. Expecting the poor to take another one for the team during a cost of living crisis is just tone deaf.
The disparity between the haves and have nots is fucking disgusting.
I struggle with the eat or heat yet i manage “just”
I’m working 6 night shifts a week to just get by. my kids don’t see me from one day to the next i stay awake to make sure they get up and go to school and then i go to bed just sleeping to wake up making the kids tea, then going to work, this isnt a life its a fucking shambles.
fuck the government fuck trying to work to not be a scrounger living off benefits (I’m not saying everyone on benefits is a scrounger but those who are know who they are)
My MIL works in care and i wouldn’t do that job for a golden pig.
they get shat on left right and centre, when all they are bothered about is the care of the residents in their care
These types of bankers are completely detached and out of touch.
I took it as the guy saying that pay restraint lessen the rise of inflation, nothing more. Surely it’s an economist’s role to state whatever they think are the objective economic facts. I can say that it’s an objective fact that installing automatic speed limiters in cars will reduce accident mortality rates while also not being a fan of them. I can say that driving less would reduce emissions, while also knowing it’s not always going to be practical for people to drive less.
I actually didn’t see this as just another case of the super rich being out of touch, but just an academic assessment taken as being adversarial.
