Actually when salaried people are used to living their lives at fixed prices, if the price of something increases it will become unbearable for them during the inflation. It is not only the salaried people who will suffer but all classes of people except the upper class will face problems. Sometimes inflation is done for the sake of the domestic economy, but most of the time it is done for the sake of corruption.

Banks, governments, and really rich people are keeping that game alive... they don't allow people to relax and enjoy life, in that case, it would be much harder to control people. This is how they keep us on a leash...just when we relax some big shit happens and everything goes up in price and normal things become difficult.

We can complain (many do in various ways) but I don't see any benefit from it. Many people simply accept and support this system and it is difficult to fight against that majority.

When I was a kid, I thought that life was not fair and illogical but now I think that the way we live makes perfect sense. There are many jobs that we don't want to do but we need them and human nature is like, you need to force someone to do something that they don't want to do. When you create an economic environment where people are forced to do what they don't want to do, e.g. to work jobs that they hate, then you make them poor and you leave these jobs the only option that doesn't require interviews, high education and networking.

Inflation is making an average Joe more dependent on the job, it forces Joe to work harder than he was working before but get paid less. One smart man said, the hardest thing is to earn 1 million, the next millions are very easy to earn. If you manage to overcome this condition of an average Joe, then you'll get benefit from the people that are in your old condition now. We have to become rich to benefit from the current system, otherwise we will live a very bad life. There was an attempt to fix this from the Soviet Union but that experiment proved that humans ar greedy and socialism can't work.
