In 1955, Local 551 UAW- CIO invoked a strike against Ford Motor on the far SW side of Chicago. They denounced the new pro- business environment that encouraged manufacturing to offshore and automate, resulting in job eliminations.
Signs carried by striking workers demanded a Guaranteed Living Wage.
It's greed on both sides, buyers and sellers. No one is innocent in this
It's only "greed" when someone seeks to keep what (s)he's earned by his/her own efforts; the envy-fueled effort to redistribute someone else's lawful property? Why -- that's just "Social Justice" in action.

No ….. it's just the recognition that there are some fools out there who will pay $300 for the phony "status" of a brand name, when perhaps $50 will get you just as much quality and utility.

Everything is sold for as much as the market will bear. Obviously, there is a market, albeit limited, for $300 sneakers.
