Don't blame Biden for inflation! Blame corporate greed!

On the other hand, people that understand economics KNOW that it's due to Bidenomics.

Price gouging. Because supply and demand is a thing. In Capitalism.

Bear in mind, if it wasn't for massive subsidies, that, and everything else everyone buys in America would cost a lot more. Heck even gold.

The largest gold mine in the world is some mountain in Nevada. They're literally turning it into a crater. Thing is, the gold is so diffuse, it can't even be detected with an electron microscope. Even though it's gold, it's so expensive digging out all the tons of ore, trucking it out in trucks with wheels that are like a couple of stories high, processing it for that microscopic amount per ton, it just isn't profitable. So the whole thing is subsidized by taxpayers, because the company that owns it can't afford to do it on their own. We pay for them to profit off of gold.

Years before all of this, decades even, the price of gas in Europe was DOUBLE what it is in America. A slice of pizza costs $8 worth Kronurs in Iceland. This is over a decade ago. Americans didn't get fat because food is expensive. Americans got fat because their taxes go to help all these companies lower their own costs, all the way to the supermarket. That's still happening, but due to an increase in demand after the pandemic started to slow down, they started jacking prices up. First to make up for their losses in 2020, then because people keep letting themselves get ripped off anyways because you never know how much more it might cost next week.

Because supply and demand is a thing.

It’s not corporate greed, it’s morons thinking they deserve $15-20/hr to empty a fry basket

In the meantime the CEOs get millions.

They would get more if they didn’t have to pay morons to empty the fry basket when the buzzer went off. A job that a robot is well suited for

And, so??
The Boards of Directors of those publicly owned and traded corporations make the decision on CEO compensation…
if the shareholders disagree with the compensation packages given to the CEO, they can elect different directors or divest themselves of stock in those companies.

But they don't because they're all on the same side. And on the rare occasion a CEO is cut loose, it's usually with a golden parachute.

Kimberly-Clark, Colgate-Palmolive, PepsiCo, General Mills, Tyson, Ben & Jerry’s, Coca-Cola, Huggies, are some of the greedy corporations that are price-gouging, then blaming inflation!

That is what happens when the people demand $15 an hour......huh Florida?

$20/hr in Commiefornia

Exactly.
Duh 🙄

I wouldn't eat that 🗑 if it was FREE & yer mom cooked it ! That dump died 30 years ago. JS

Diesel fuel, and oil prices, ever heard of them? You can’t get food planted, harvested or delivered without diesel fuel. Many products come from oil, not just gasoline. Bidenomics raising oil prices, raises all prices. Biden doesn’t care about average Americans.

Sorry! You can't blame diesel fuel and oil prices for an $18 Big Mac Combo Meal. It's corporate GREED!

Flagged for calling me an idiot! That's harassment!

Of course the Politics mods will ignore the Terms of Use as usual for the Right. If a Leftist member called a Right member an idiot, they'd certainly get a timeout!

Indeed. Biden has been catching the blame for everything from burgers to gas to dollar-store items. And we all know there's a lot more to it. Besides, the Reagan years were worse.

What a load of bullshit

Were you even alive during the Reagan years?

I was. Big Macs were $1.59. Taco Bell was .59 cents

And they were even cheaper years before that. What's your point?

Are you even alive now? Or just a bot?

Reagan won the governorship as a republican over the democrat Pat Brown. He was a write-in candidate on the Democrat primary ballot as well. He switched parties from demo to Republican in 1961. 5 years before he was elected governor

Everything you post is bullshit.

if Trump farted while he was in office, you liberals would declare that he was insensitive about greenhouse gases.

You should be more concerned about Trump's brain farts.

As he should.

That’s what happens when you force companies to pay people $15-$18 an hour to flip burgers and fry fries.
Duh 🙄

The only people willing to work for less are immigrants, but the Right doesn't want those workers.

Actually they do, they just like to rant about it, pretending that they don't.

Remember, Mr 'Build the Wall' was busted with having illegals working at his resorts. On top of that, they had been instructed to lie about their status here when questioned by the authorities.

Plenty of other GOPer officials have likewise been caught, and not just courtesy of their gardeners and the ones redoing their homes. Plenty of domestics working in their mansions and not only are none of them from the US, they can't even speak a single word of English. So no, "Golly, I didn't know" excuses in that bundle of hypocrisy.

Go back to $7.50 an hour and see what kind of help you get.

The companies should consider themselves lucky they don't have to pay more.

If they end up paying more, your burger will cost $25.99+tax.

That's the excuse the CEOs use. They set the prices to line their own pockets.

WELP! Looks like the tax write off for Trumps 'business' Happy Meals it's going up.
