    Thank you! I was saying this back in 2022 when we had “record inflation” but also “record profits.” That became too obvious to consumers so we had shrinkflation instead. But still the record profits.

    Corps knew the average voter is dumb and used those prices to tank Harris’ campaign all because she had the gall to suggest a wealth tax, something they had snuffed out Biden’s chances with. Even if the president has no control over prices, people believe they do. It was over for this country the moment we got the Citizen United ruling. Things were being setup to make it easier to get, but that ruling allowed unmitigated greed to influence politics. Been a growing pool of unfathomable wealth and the leverage of that wealth since.
