Pretty spot on: Corporations are reporting record profits but wages are flat and people are suffering as a result of inflation. Companies care more about increasing their stock price versus helping their employees. Corporate greed to the max and it won’t end well

The RBA has got it wrong, punishing workers with persistently high rates, as the economy flails. "Profits have been driving inflation. Companies have fattened their margins, and if your only response is to target workers, you're punishing the victims," explains Stephen Long.

BREAKING: CNN reports Trump’s White House ballroom and renovation projects are now facing scrutiny over massive costs, inflated profit margins, and no-bid contracts. According to reporting, one renovation project tied to the White House reflecting pool ballooned to $13.1 million; roughly seven times higher than Trump initially estimated, while investigators say the contractor received unusually high profit margins. And now, while inflation hits a three-year high and Americans struggle with rent, groceries, and gas… Why does Washington suddenly have unlimited money for spectacle?

Sequoia Capital GP Sonya Huang 🐥 is seeing Jevons Paradox all over the place from her perch at the firm "Not to be an annoying VC, but Jevons Paradox is a freaking wonderful thing." "Because what's happening is — I see the data on all this stuff. Our companies, we see the gross margins going up. At the same time as AI usage is going way up, their gross margins are also going up. Because they are the beneficiaries of intelligence getting cheaper and cheaper to meter." "On the other hand — and I see this from the model companies we work with — their cohorts are getting better and better and better." "So it's not like they're facing price competition, and their businesses are going into the gutter. They have phenomenal businesses, where because they're able to provide intelligence at increasingly cheap prices, their businesses actually get better and better." "So I actually think this is an 'everybody wins' situation."

BOOM: Bill Jubran slams Republican officials for deceiving their followers and criticizes naïve supporters who failed to comprehend the difference, between inflation and corporate greed. He clarified that blaming Democrats and Joe Biden for inflation merely benefits corporations, as there is no accountability for their extreme capitalism. Jubran; “this is capitalism, what you love so much“.

From Doritos to Oreos to toilet paper, giant corporations are shrinking how much they give but charging the same price or more. We're not fooled. Corporations are boosting their profits with these tricks. It's time to crack down on shrinkflation and corporate greed.

🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: A CNBC host accused Democrats of lying on live TV about price gauging and high inflation while fact checking Rep. Josh Gottheimer, the shift in media is happpening. CNBC HOST: “If you look at grocery stores, the price margins are only 1-2 percent and Josh, you know that's not what caused the inflation. And for you to say it with a straight face, it doesn't help your cause at all. Why didn't the corporations gouge for 40 years, if that's what caused it? How did it suddenly happen they learned how to gouge three and a half years ago, and it went to 40-year highs on inflation? And when you talk about unifying, being where you are, you may be unifying intra-DNC, but I can guarantee you that what we're seeing in policies coming out are not unifying policies.”

Loblaws' profits are up 31% over the last quarter - as everyday Canadians struggle to afford the price of groceries, food bank usage hits record highs, and food prices outpace inflation. This is corporate greed, plain and simple. And Doug Ford has done nothing. #onpoli

There are a lot of other great signs on inflation. As soon as we get energy prices going back down, you could actually be looking at negative inflation."

We complain about corporate greed, but we completely refuse to give up our instant gratification. McDonald's just reported a massive $26.9 BILLION in revenue for last year. Their profits are actually going UP. They aren't struggling, they are printing money because we keep proving we are completely addicted to their junk, no matter what they charge. We all want prices to drop, but as a society, we have completely lost the discipline to draw a line in the sand and walk away. Why would these corporations ever lower their prices when we keep willingly handing them our money?

Phillip: Many producers are waiting for oil prices to increase before they raise production Ungar-Sargon: But if you're the American people who want affordable energy, of course we want more production. Phillip: Yes, but production isn't being done by the United States government. Production is being done by for profit corporations who are not going to do things to reduce their profit.

Bike shop owners: Our health care premiums are going to triple this year, which equates to double the cost of what we pay for our mortgage. Our profit margins are already down. Every 2 to 3 months we get letters from the companies saying we're having another 10% increase, and it just keeps escalating. It's kind of tough.

BREAKING: Rep. Brandon Gill exposes the real reason amnesty bills keeps coming back. "They obviously, want cheap labor, they want amnesty, they want illegal aliens in the country because for them that's bigger profit margins." Big Ag and hospitality lobbyists are using all their leverage to get cheap illegal labor, all the while crushing American wages and boost their profits. "We ought to actually follow through and do what we said we were going to do on the campaign trail." Instead, RINOs team up with Democrats while voters get the opposite of what they demanded. Enough.
