This is indeed playing with words insincerely: > what happens when inflation rates begin to drop? Will companies drop salaries to match? Decreasing salaries only makes sense with a negative inflation (deflation?) — so this is rarely, if ever, a concern. Generally, if business is doing well, it's doing better than inflation, and it could very well compensate to match. Of course, market forces are multiple, and businesses doing well is not well defined either, but disingenuous takes like this don't help anyone.
