Over are the days where supply and demand controlled allocation of resources to get the goods to every man, woman and child.

Big demand, lack of workers? Price and pay rise to meet the challenge. This part of market economy always made sense to me. Like a muscle growing stronger in response to increased exertion.

Now the wealthy have decided that this is way too boring because what good does it do them if people actually attain wealth for themselves? There'll be no motivation to run faster in their hamster wheels to create more wealth to be siphoned off.

Works as intended.
