>"inflation has made everyone poorer - get used to it not ask for wage increases"

Which is absolutely horseshit, because the European countries that had the least amount of inflation (besides the super wealthy Switzerland and Luxembourg), were the countries where salaries are automatically indexed with inflation, like Belgium.

So it turns out that forcing companies to increase wages by inflation is a very effective deterrent against price gouging and inflation, yet those in charge try to convince us otherwise, that we should accept lower wages for our own sake lol.

Can you believe the nerve of these people? It's disgusting, but we get what we vote for. You want better, then vote better.

I did not realise there were any countries doing index linked salaries.

Nice idea

> You want better, then vote better.

This doesn't help. Even if you were the guy that read all policies or whatever a candidate pushes, the vast majority if people are still just gonna vote with their emotions.
