  1. That's how you know people are lying about greedflation. If the bosses are greedy now, then they will have always been greedy.

  2. That comment can be considered defamation. Remove it

  3. Houses only look more expensive, because mortgages have become expensive. Remember, when you get a loan, you literally competing against the rate the banks can get from the Federal government

  4. A couple slaughterhouses were accused of that, but it was found the price of meat simply changed in the amount of time it took for cows to go from farm to store. That's a risk that works both ways, and it's best just to just buy/sell a futures contract so you don't have to worry about it

  5. Because greed knows no social bariers. Some customers want post-inflation wages and pre-inflation prices

  6. Liars get scalped

  7. Even if there was price gouging it's still cheaper to buy than to make it yourself in most developed countries. You simply can't compete with the type of equipment the corporations have

  8. Windfarms don't use much farmland. Where I'm from they just put them in cattle pastures. The cows don't care.

  9. Discount brands of weekly essentials are sold at near zero profit to keep customers coming back. It's a near perfect measure of inflation.

  10. It can be, but government spending hasn't risen enough for that in the past half decade.

  11. Who is they? I'll bet my life you're a liar one way or another

  12. It's called defamation. Isn't happening

  13. I ran a fireworks tent once and I learned the brutal math of retail. If you lower prices, more people buy your stuff. But I need to make profit because my friends are working for me and I want to pay them well. And we only had a ballpark figure of how much we'd sell. Ultimately I did pretty well, as costumers said we were the best seller in town, but I and my friends all made made little more than minimum wage on average.

  14. A lot of these are public companies, look it up. Even so, why would thousands of bosses who are competing with each other spontaneously do that?

  15. Lying about CEO pay does nothing for no one, Greedo

  17.  @tonycrabtree3416  That means nothing. Everyone who wants a house, has a house and a mortgage to pay

  19. The price of eggs was mostly effected by chicken plagues, and if you call that price gouging I will dox you for lying.

  20. Don't be silly. Look at off-brand milk. The price perfectly matches inflation because the stores sell it at break even prices to keep customers coming back every week. Some products are also effected by sanctions, like how England blacklisted Russian gas so now other markets have to compete with England for gas. Other products are effected by one-off events like that plague among chickens when a lot of consumers straight up refused to stop eating eggs for breakfast even if they had to drive an hour to get it.

  21. They know, they just don't care. If it wasn't "greedflation," they'd just lie about something else. When the economy is stable, greedy people complain about no opportunities. When the economy is volatile, greedy people complain it's hard to pay the bills.

  23. Don't waste your time debunking stuff like this. Greedy bastards will lie about the cost of living no matter what.

  24. ​ @email5023 Dude, everyone already knows it's inflation and sanctions

  25. Put that back up your butt where you got it.

  26. Your boss also wishes he didn't have to raise the starting wages just to get qualified applicants

  27. Also sanctions due to various wars. I.E. Britain doesn't buy Russian gas, meaning other countries now compete with Britain for the remaining suppliers

  28. Inflation? No, not a factor. Retail just favors economies of scale.

  29. Discount milk cost is a near perfect measure of inflation. Stores sell it at breakeven prices to keep customers coming back. Walmart's Great Value milk is sold at 3% above cost of goods sold, which barely covers corporate overhead but brings people back every week where they buy name brand stuff at fat profit margins.

  35. The greedy bastards are the ones accusing everyone else of price gouging. They want post-inflation wages and pre-inflation prices.

  36. It is literally fraud to include those as a cost of business you id10t

  37. No, it's just inflation, wars, and sanctions

  38. I like to measure inflation in the price of soda. It's a cheap commodity that we drink like water, and the recipe doesn't change nor is affected by distant wars. The price of soda reflects inflation figures.

  39. There's varying definitions of that term
