Right but it’s also not a reason to let the American economy collapse. There are plenty of workers who have not gotten colas. In fact, annual increases, don’t even exist in the world of nonprofits.

You're arguing that the US economy essentially still requires slavery, albeit shifted from chattel to wage slavery.

No, we’re not talking about slavery. In fact, that’s a super dramatic comparison to try to make.

We’re talking about a negotiation in which people are unhappy with what’s being offered to them. That’s a long way from slavery my friend it’s called capitalism.
