Don’t try to tell me my wages are sharply increasing either, because they’re not! Nor are my friends, family, or neighbors.

Look. You could read this and that about material, labor, manufacturing cost/expenditure analysis and ratios. But what’s really going on is this: Humans have an innate base desire which we call “greed”. There is absolutely no reason why anything should go up, in fact the opposite, they should be going down! We as a society have made amazing strides forward in technology, medicine, education, transportation, etc. Believe it or not, there are some inventions that haven’t come to market as perfect solutions but the problem is that it doesn’t make money to completely solve people’s challenges. There’s no money in the perfect solution on temporary ones. Why? Because people believe they need more and more money to keep the illusion circus going. As a society, I know it’s tough to hear but: We are truly better than all the bull ish reasons that cloth our ignorance. Solution: Collectively promote social norms that foster higher virtues. For example, decreasing the pay gap of CEOs to approximately 7 to 10 times more than the lowest paid employee. That’s a start.
