People need to start realizing that we are no longer a true capitalist economy.
We are have corporatism disguised as capitalism.

These assholes literally create “inflation” by saying ‘frick you we’re gonna charge more for this product and blame it on you’. And so far it doesn’t seem like we can do anything about it.

We finally have a politician who has money, can’t be bought, and for the people. The deep state and career politicians have done everything possible to try and take him down.

There is no solution and there is no fix. This is our fate and it will only worsen with the continued destruction of real community and inter-personal ties by pushing everything online.

I think you need a coffee meeting about monetary policy, and it has little to do with how much McDonalds charges for a quarter pounder, especially when the entities that control the volume of money (which would be congress creating money from nowhere, and the Fed that let it happen for two decades).
More money available, chasing fewer goods, means those goods cost more. Companies don't make more money available, the Fed and Congress do.

Increasing prices solely because they can and feel like is purely greed-driven and generally a bad idea for the longevity of a country.
