Yeah this after all. Private corporations exist to make money. They minimize investment and maximize returns. They progressively suppress wages and inflate profits. Clever individual choices and self discounts merely create temporary competitive advantages against other poor laborers in the market. If you manage to secure the bag that way and exit that class altogether, good for you, but that solves nothing for the rest. There's no be all end all threshold that everyone can just stay above and stay ahead of inflation.
