        So the companies “aren’t making enough money”, which means they don’t have enough to pay us, which means we don’t have enough to spend on them.

        Hmm.

          They only “don’t have enough to pay us” insofar as they don’t have enough to pay us without sacrificing record high profits or CEO salaries.

      Others did it and faced no consequences. No government step-in, no mass customer loss. When there are no consequences for greedy monopolistic behaviours, greedy monopolies act greedily. Welcome to market capitalism without proper regulation.
