I’m referring to the relationship between someone offering you more money for the same work the difference of which gets passed on to consumers.

A few consumers are going to a business and offering more money for the same work. The consumer is the business’s boss just like your boss might offer you more money. You aren’t going to turn down the raise because it will hurt other consumers just like the business isn’t going to turn down the money even though it will cost other consumers more.

and if i did i sure as hell wouldn’t care if their CEOs got a paycut to benefit the consumers

I brought that up because that wasn’t going to happen. If you get a raise, your boss isn’t going to take a paycut to make it happen. The raise comes from the consumers.

The money is fixed. You getting a raise means the money has to come from somewhere- which means the boss taking a pay cut or the customers paying more.

If your boss offered you a raise for the same work, would you turn it down?

A mismatch between supply and demand is called a shortage. The source is irrelevant.

You think companies would cut off ad revenue and pass cost savings to customers?

Fridges will get MORE expensive to ensure that you see ads on your fridge.
