    The issue isn’t the things they do to actually lower prices. The issue is when congress uses this as an excuse to raise taxes to line their pockets while still screwing the consumer.

    What about the billions upon billions upon billions of $$ given overseas? Why does our money get to go to other people?

    I have noticed higher prices, less volume, lower quality, and big gaps on store shelves. I never know from one shopping trip to the next if a product I want will be there, in sufficient quantity, as it always has been in the past. Yesterday my huge store was out of baking potatoes and not because they had just sold out, they were back ordered!!

    I wonder how corporate profits compare to inflation. I wonder which year corporate profits weren’t higher than ever. It seems to me that because inflation exists, an equal profit margin would actually be a loss.

      Profit margin is different than profit. 15% on $100 is different than 15% on $1000. The issue is the margin is improving along with profits.

      @@MrBeast-1 if corporate profits are up 1.5% in 2023 and inflation was 4.5% in 2023, what ACTUALLY happened to “profits”?
      Answer: profit is actually down 3.5% from the previous year.

      @@solisto you said an equal profit margin would actually be a loss. I'm saying you should have said an equal profit would be a loss. Margin % is after expenses so you were able to raise prices greater than inflationary costs.

      @@solisto then I agree with you! Companies should have record levels of profit, but when companies raise their margin that is when they are getting greedy.
