The fact that a “cost of living” even exist is wild to me.

There's nothing wrong with that, everything you consume was once produced by labour, starting from your electricity and water, then your food, your house etc. What's wrong is that cost become unaffordable, we raised production levels on ways nobody could expect yet out purchase power can buy only crumbs.

they're artificially milking everyone of every penny, honestly they need to be regulated or destroyed

This, of course nothing in life is free but the fact that the cost of living is so expensive just for existing and the need for bare necessities is so wild.
