An economy is only as healthy as the money that moves through it.

Stimulus bills when passed are exactly for that - put money into the hands of workers so that the economy can become healthy.

A corporation is always going to be moving money whether through investments, orders, etc.

A worker may not be able to. If the choice is between food, shelter, healthcare, etc… then the worker is going to have to prioritize. Stories of workers having to choose to be late on some bills so they can afford shelter and food are not uncommon because wages have stagnated but corporations chase the green line going up on their graphs.

Without workers bring able to move money through the economy via wages to them, corporations just collect those assets and sit on them or invest them elsewhere. I don’t think grocery stores are the places banks invest into.

Grocery stores will increase prices to keep that green graph line going up.

Basically, inflation is going to happen. Purchasing power moves over time. If wages don’t keep up, things start breaking down economically.
