Firms to raise prices due to tax and wage increases
Consumers could face higher costs in the coming months amid falling confidence among UK businesses.
Firms to raise prices due to capitalist greed
FTFY
Entirely true.
But what is more annoying is how Tories etc are trying to suggest it was not expected.
We live in a capitalistic society. Even the most left wing politician. In no way expects corporations to choose reductions in profit.
The labour may not like it. But they fully expected this to happen. When companies start to increase prices above the % amount, the wages increased. Making employees worse off over all. That is the point things can be said to have failed. Rather than all the crappy biased telegraph and times articles claiming Labour has destroyed the economy.
And if that happens. It is the companies that are to blame for their own choice to price themselves out of the market. Not tax rate or wage levels.
"Firms" here is very non specific. How many of those surveyed are consumer facing?
Time to be self sufficient to be honest..
What do you mean?
Modern society / politics / voters / globalisation has completely failed to protect the workers of the West who are continually squeezed by any number of factors.
The last resort is to attempt to need society less: making ones own food, rejecting consumerism, upcycling/recycling, changing entertainment tastes, consciously rejecting marketing etc
