While predicted that inflation would occur after the worst of the pandemic had passed, it's a shame that those on the lower part of the economic ladder are seeing their increased gains in wages being eroded by it.

While there are some levers that can be pulled by those in charge to try and help, there are a lot (such as the world price of crude), that no single person (regardless of their position) - can meaningfully affect. Right now, there is also an effort being made by corporations to try and make up for lost profits since the pandemic started. Ironically, for the +-52% of Americans that own stock in one form or another (individually/mutual funds/pensions/Etc.), the steady rise in stock prices outweigh the cost of inflation. Once again, it is those who don't own stocks - that are being hit the hardest.
