It's obvious that the grocery industry, that operates on razor-thing margins, is greedy.

“It’s all about big business. The little people don’t count,” a resident said.

It's about 'deflection.' Deflection of disapproval of Biden's tyrannic regime's disastrous handing of the economy, our borders and its pandering to every woke victim and leftist issue group who votes. They'll use every excuse in the book to blame and deny and throw anybody under the bus to shift the blame away from them.

The Real Story Behind Inflation
What it means for your pocket book, your gas tank, and your grocery bill
What do you know about inflation? Milton Friedman famously said: “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.” Of course, we all know the driver of the quantity of money is government spending priorities, and recently the government has been spending a lot. So what does that mean for the American people? On this episode, we talk about the basics of inflation, what it means for your pocket book, your gas tank, and your grocery bill. This episode shows what happens when too many dollars chase too few goods.

TL;DR:

Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.

exploiting COVID-19 product shortages to raise their prices.


So, raising prices, and encouraging more production to relieve shortages, is apparently a bad thing.

taxes go up on land, land cost more, seed costs more, equipment needed to plant and harvest costs more, labor costs more, truckers needed to transport cost more, and then repeat at every step of the process from farm, to factory, to store.

= higher prices

and it’s ALL because of how LIBERALS over reacted to covid.

Biden increased the cost of energy - that is “the collateral damage” caused by Biden summarily dictating the fate of many fossil fuel processes.

Shrinkflation: A couple of months ago, COSTCO wrapped 5 Rock Lobster Tails to a pack averaging $63 each.

Crazy as it sounds, they finally got smart and offer TWO to a pack now for about $35.

But Charmin toilet paper has risen to $30 for a 30 roll set...was just $19.99 last Summer.

(FTC report suggests high grocery bills likely due to ‘greedflation’ caused by big corporations)

Well it certainly can't be the fault of Democrat Joe Biden and Mother Pete!!

It's past Christmas but Democrat Joe Biden is still wrecking the economy with Bidenflation

It looks like the FTC is run by toxic wokesters who majored in basket weaving.

Honestly, when I’m king, people who are so unserious about governing that they coin terms like”minibus” and “greedflation” are going to be summarily shot the day after my coronation
