I do. Shops, cafes, pubs are closing left right and centre because the median person can’t afford labour intensive unskilled jobs. The majority of the public are earning little more than minimum wage (1.6 times). 25 years ago it was 2 times.

Wages compression means shops, cafes, pubs closing, as exemplified today with Morrisons closing 100 local shops, putting people out of work, denying people easy access to local shops.
