When the majority gets more money companies raise prices and you feel poor anyway. Mass wage increase sounds nice in the short term but leads to all the inflation articles you've read recently. Money feeds up. This can be prevented by reduced demand for goods and services. As in, when you obtain disposable income you... Don't dispose of it.
Energy, living costs it can't be done. Necesities. But a lot of areas you can make real change by voting with your dollar. For example, if you don't think the new iphone should cost 2 grand because that's absurd then don't validate the company's plan by buying it. Reduced demand causes reduced price until we find a balance. That's how this horrible evil capitalism is supposed to work.
One of the problems is we as consumers suck at voting. We want the new iphone. So a majority of us buy it anyway. On credit. And Apple raises the price next year becase "it worked last time"
