Wages never rise because of inflation. They rise because workers demand a greater share of the pie to provide their labor, and that only happens when they can negotiate. Inflation makes negotiating harder because it makes it harder for workers to have a stable cushion to fall back on.
The elites have always loved inflation. The idea that inflation is good for workers is pretty much a relic of really specific historical conditions (high levels of consumer debt, which was historically never a "thing", legacy of union contracts which only happened because of Soviet pressure, etc). Normally, inflation is the best way to steal a bigger piece of the pie from your workers because a 3% raise in a 5% inflation world is an easier sell than a 1% cut in a world with 0% inflation, even though the latter is better for the worker. Inflation also helps all those loans you took out to speculate on crypto grow your business "pay for themselves"
