We all know the inflation is just an excuse, because it's literally a creation of fractional reserve banking and fiat currency. Corporations do it all the time. They get around price gouging because they can hide behind "inflation", which is a load of BS. Yes, inflation exists in our current system but conniving companies and individuals take advantage of that to screw everyone else over. It's the most un-American thing I can possibly think of.

Yes, we have a right to call them on their selfishness. They, like leaders and anyone in infrastructure, have a responsibility to the entire country. They have a responsibility and a direct impact. If they don't want people to call them out for being selfish, greedy individuals, then they have two choices: stop trying to extort the entire country for a freaking 77% wage increase (from their already sizable current wage), or find another job.

They are not the victims. Not even remotely close. They "postponed" the strike until next January because they realized the sheer amount of people that would despise their guts for their actions.
