In reply to the discussion: A Rated Marist Poll - Joe Biden 49% TFG 47% [View all]DemocraticPatriot
(5,410 posts)which is now statistically about as low as it has been for the past ten years....
English translation:
Corporations are wringing as much out of "inflation" as they can get--- way beyond the "statistical" inflation
When prices for groceries are supposedly inflated by 8 or 10 or 20 percent,
but the price of certain specific items have increased by as much as 100 percent
in the past few years, that IS corporate greed....
I used to swear by Kroger for the lowest prices,
but they are screwing the people wherever they can--
when 'Dollar General' prices some of the same "generic" type food items
lower than Kroger, "there is something wrong with this picture"....
(soups immediately come to mind...)
I have said since last year, that the people setting prices are mostly Republicans---
and it is "win-win" for them--- they raise prices beyond the inflation rates,
and their company makes more money, and they HURT President Joe Biden...
who gets blaimed for it, but has no role in setting prices...
