“Tax rises will push business leaders to cut costs and hiring, surveys show”
This sort of headline pisses me off, because it treats deliberate decisions by people in positions of power as some kind of natural consequence.
The tax rise is an excuse, just like inflation. It's correlation, not causation, and it is used as a scare tactic, aiming to redirect public sentiment around greedflation from corporations to the government.
Journalism needs to do more than just parroting these sorts of corporate press releases 😒
