You see, it seems the fat, greedy corporate fuques seem to have forgotten where all that money comes from....YOU! YOUR LABOR!! I say it's time for a DRASTIC REMINDER! Now, I know a lot of people will say "yeah, but then I'll lose my job or can't pay my rent". So, I ask...Is that shitty job REALLY paying for your rent? Or, is it keeping you locked into poverty? Is the PITTANCE they pay us REALLY a "living wage"? Ofc NOT. It's NOT. Ofc people are afraid. It's terrifying times right now. Which is EXACTLY why I think THIS IS the time to get their God damn attention! The politicians, the corporations, yes, even the law. ALL of it is just TAKING, TAKING, TAKING!! They took a woman's right to bodily autonomy, her right to privacy. They are taking away books, education, wages, healthcare, social safety nets, medicaid, food stamps, retirement... WHAT'S LEFT? Shall we ALL wait until we are homeless? Dying? Too Ill to fight back? Too poor to even be heard? Drastic times call for drastic measures. NATIONAL WALK OUT DAY!! That may be the ONLY thing that FINALLY gets their God damn attention cause it's the ONLY thing that will hurt their bottom line.

I had already started to cut back on my Amazon purchases, but after checking for some scrubbing cleaner that Amazon was selling it for $8, I found Walmart and Home Depot were selling the same produce for $2.25. And that was just the beginning. Time and again I found that Amazon was not the great bargain store it had been in the past. (And factor in how many bogus reviews there are on Amazon, and the fact that they're basically just funneling stuff from China to the US, it's not worth the hassle any more.) So while Amazon raked in billions of dollars of profit in the first few months of the lock down, I have: 1. Cancelled my Prime membership. 2. Cut back my Amazon purchases to almost zero. Granted...one person doing that won't bring Amazon down, but the more people do, the more it hurts them. And they deserve to be hurt. The government should have implemented a windfall profit tax on them and everyone else who gouged consumers during the lock down and subsequent to the lock down. But that never happened. And it's not just the Republicans to blame. The Democrats have their fair share to go around as well.

It was a major talking point on the mainstream media. You got to lower wages to bring inflation down. I thought, who is getting overpaid when your minimum wage is so low. At the bottom, which is 90% people spend what they earn. Driving the economy anywhere. It's like grocery shopping. Every week something else has gone up in price. Just because they know you need to buy food etc. that sustains your life. You don't have a choice because they're all doing the same thing. Prices never go down. It's just a pursuit of more profit, inflation is a convenient lie. Paycheck to paycheck is the reality for most working families. It's only the rich that sit on money they never spend.

First we should call the original price increases what they were: disaster price gouging. Companies charged more because people were desperate. It's just that there's no actual competition in any sector of this country's economy, so after people stopped being desperate they realized they didn't actually have to lower prices again. Second, the Democrats don't make things better. I'm sure there are some people that do, but I think most non-Republicans are coming around to the idea that what Joe Biden said is the party's motto: Nothing will fundamentally change. When republicans are in charge they wreck the country even more, and when Democrats are in charge, they largely don't do anything at all.

complicity to price gouge is so normalised by both business and politicians who take money in donations by those same businesses should be imprisoned for 6 months for each occurance!

I’ve shopped at Meijer for several years and I buy the same products week after week so I know what the prices were before they started raising the prices. The CPI pegged inflation at 8.7% yet every price increase at Meijer was at least 18% with most increases being above 20%. So don’t tell me that its inflation that caused the massive price increases.

Prices are being driven by profit margin increases not cost pressure. Wages are lagging way behind prices. We have been collectively getting poorer for decades it's only recently that we have seen that decline accelerate.

I guess the real question is where is the integrity? How can you devote your life to a company designed to rip off...YOU ?! They do it because the modern customer doesn't make companies answer for their failures or price hikes while failing. This market could not exist 30 or more years ago because there were much better customers. Customers that repaired and maintained everything themselves and couldn't be lied to for that reason. More for less is here to stay because you allowed it. At least until it breaks our economy and the government initiates PROFIT REGULATION. Has a chilling ring doesn't it? It could be a pre cursor to SOCIALISM. Oh ya...you're freezing now. Next time you go shopping do the world a favor and act like your money is actually worth something. Make the store put that product back on the shelf rather than pay the replacement fee. Raise hell if you're product breaks. More importantly narrow the gap for food prices by buying anything but the safeway brand food products (or albertsons,Walmart, whatever crook your neighborhood has) so they don't continue to undercut and buy up their competition while raising prices and replacing humans with computers at check out. At least focusing on the price gouging of groceries will feed families and reduce strains on public assistance and charities put there by people that do actually care about people.

I've never really understood why inflation exists as an almost universal modifier. Like, I understand supply and demand, if demand outpaces supply then prices go up to counter demand, or to match rarity of a commodity. I don't understand why prices have to constantly increase the way they are. Resources and land aren't infinite, and demand increases with population, but we also change the way we use land for housing and agriculture over time; we use way less land for farming than we did a century or two ago. Things slowly become more efficient, and when we eventually open up space prices would drop even more, inflation never seems to match demand anymore; it's used like an arbitrary value that corporations and economists set rather than something based on concreate data.

The simple answer is because the idea that capitalism would create lower prices through competition was utter and complete bullshit.

I remember when Pierre Trudeau introduced wage and price control in Canada. There was no real price control and every level of government adopted wage control. Private employers used the government example as an excuse to screw their workers. Employees had been falling further and further behind inflation for years (double digit inflation). Wages were not even close to keeping up with inflation. But everyone in a position of power (and a lot of the press) blamed wages. The hollowness of the government blaming wages was revealed in the few days before the legislation was fully implemented. First the salary's of all Members of Parliament was increased by an average of 33% (the poor dears had fallen behind inflation). The next day the salary's of their staffs went up about 11% (those poor dears worked so hard - unlike everyone else in Canada - and obviously deserved it - gag). Meanwhile, the day after that all other government employees saw their salary's frozen at a maximum 2 to 3 % increases for 2 years (it lasted for longer than that). Private employees and unions were considered selfish if they asked for increases higher than that.

The same is clear in UK and Australia, partly because we have the same multinational conglomerates and no corporate "social ethics must limit profits" laws.
