  1. Preventing inflation is only possible when you are completely isolated from exterior market forces and the cancerous stock market. Freezing wages for three decades was simply decreasing wages in real terms, and then for that idiot to say "We need to increase output" as though it's his employees' fault.

  2. Welll good for you. Judging by your avatar, you're not old enough to be fully supporting yourself yet.

  3.  @MrPsymon808  I'm making a personal ASSESSMENT, not a judgement, because if this person does not have to support themselves, then OF COURSE they will not appreciate a change of the cost of living. As for your experience, yes things may have remained constant for the past 15 years. This video is about a RECENT rise, and it's supported with facts. Perhaps eating out is less affected than daily groceries or fuel or whatever?

  5.  @oreodepup  If he's one of the captains of industry, complaining about his employees will accomplish nothing but resentment. Complaining to the government maay penetrate their imperious, thick skulls to change national policy.
