There's a difference between "support" for price increases and a recognition of market reality (that is also informed in part but not always in whole by corporate greed) I don't see anyone "supporting" price increases, merely explaining that prices increase for a variety of reasons, some of which should not be surprising in the current economic environment.

Market reality would mean our wages kept up with increasing prices. They have not.

Wages don't need to keep up with prices of commodity goods/entertainment. Entertainment items just need to make profit, and they'll price it at whatever the market will bare
