2) The problem is that a lot of this inflation is based on "price gouging" by corporations, and not based on sound economics or threatened profit margins, pure corporate greed, it's so hard to tackle this as a policy maker. I fucking hate corporates, this is why I was such a big fan of Lina Khan, but LOL, she is so FIRED now. I hope corporations are happy. |
Thanks. Yes. A large part of this inflation is due to greedy fucking corporations price gouging, do people really expect pro-business Trump to do something about that? Lol. These corps saw what they could get away with during COVID and then decided to take it a step further, it has absolutely nothing to do with profit, it's pure greed, they will continue increasing until people speak with their wallets but unfortunately some of this stuff is essential. Now, tariffs, Trump's going to batter Americans with those and that's very much all his fault. Once again he's receiving an economy with positive signs for the future aside from inflation and watch him fuck it up, once again.
I came around to Lina...She had a lot of great pro-consumer ideas, she's definitely being fired, can't be upsetting businesses now can we, same businesses laying off tens of thousands so they can save the equivalent of £50 to the average consumer, Lol. At least there's EC and CMA but EC feels defanged lately.
