thats my point.
gov intervention causes issues but people ignore that to blame corporations
neither are innocent but a certain demographic likes to ignore what their elected (and non elected) do to cause harm.
everyone on here wants more gov programs and looks the other way when they create problems
I just spent $200 on what I thought should have been a week’s worth of groceries and the shopping cart might as well have been an accessory like how these chicks walk around with them big ass handbags just for their ID and car keys.
How are people surviving out here with these pricesI swear it wasn’t this bad about a month ago.. everything is half the size and twice the price.. it’s just straight up robbery.
I still feel violated.. I might have file a police report and press charges against Walmart at this point.
Don't often notice these kinds of things personally, but I follow the inflation/economic stories and coverage. I understand how hard it must be for some families, more than before. I don't know how they do it, without going into debt, or giving up things.
I know Whole Foods is moving to bring down prices, but a lot of these are going to stay high, as businesses look to keep higher prices under the label of exclusive or elevated brands, experiences, or products.

Well if this is an honest question, all of the massive quantitative easing since the GFC massively increased the money supply to the benefit of anyone holding securities during those years. Myself included. One of the most fukked up things though is because of how it all works, those benefits impact the wealthy the most, and trickle down to no benefit at all by the time it reaches the lower middle and lower class.
So rich get richer. You cheered for it depending on how much you benefited from it (usually). Your IRA and 401k was booming for those years, but that doesn't mean shyt to families struggling that don't actually have 401ks and IRA and whatnot. They just got fukked basically.
Edit: To add, we have seen both Republican and Democratic leadership during that long tenure. So its relatively difficult to try and say one isn't responsible. However context does matter, QE ramped to infinity to help heal the wounds caused by that insane 2008 worldwide financial crisis.

reminds me of how people think one gas station is better than the other when it all comes from the same refinery.
lack of focus on common goals or common interests.
Always remember a lot of these modern diversions came when people started calling out the 1% en mass which wasn't long ago. That shyt spiralled into all the disruptive movements right now. People were redirected and their collective power fractured. Doesn't matter what color, creed, orientation we all need affordable housing. Pay that matches inflation etc. But we don't attack these common issues together we let them get broken down into partisan talking points and watch the attempts to fix anything fall apart as they become embroiled in politics.
Your post is disingenuous.taking in media with one sort of slant is why a lot of you can only see the world in one way
Four takeaways from General Mills' latest quarter
General Mills upgraded its financial outlook as sales surged and profits slipped this winter.www.startribune.com
Your article says profits fell 16% from previous quarter (holiday season was previous quarter, plus before massive lay offs nationwide, mainly tech layoffs).
But the previous quarter/year were all time highs, so profits being 16% down from all time highs is still an incredible number. Not every quarter in any business is going to have continued growth.
Let me break it down in sport’s terminology
If a baseball player usually hits 20 home runs a season, then 5 seasons in, he hits 55 home runs (all time high)
then his 6th season “only” hits 42 home runs (profits fell from all time high), its still an incredible season and better than his average.

The newly printed money went to the corporations. Individuals got about 1/5 of the newly printed money.
Thats the point you and the other bootlickers are carefully trying to sidestep. This isn't even the first time, the precedent was set over a decade ago. Billionaires and corporations get into trouble, Fed prints money to bail them out and you're left to foot the bill for inflation
