Price increases without an increase to minimum wage: "That's just companies charging what the market has decided as a fair price"

Price increases along with an increase to minimum wage: "OMG! GREEDY WORKERS ARE BLEEDING US DRY!"

If we're going to have a system that's foundationally built off greed, then a workers "greed" of wanting a wage they can live off of is just as valid as a corporation's actual greed of wanting to maximize profits, except we should prioritize the "greed" that benefits actual human beings.
