A few weeks ago, Popular Information revealed how powerful corporations are driving inflation. Companies like Procter & Gamble and PepsiCo are not simply increasing prices to cover higher input costs. Instead, they are using the narrative of inflation to increase their profits.
Thank you for this! I have shared the video. I'm going to buy local as much as possible, because I would rather my neighbors get my dollars than a CEO who doesn't even pay taxes.
Some great points in that video, but isn't this a chicken-and-egg situation? Two things have created a vicious circle: 1) the government has pumped a lot of money into the economy to prevent a recession, so consumers now have more to spend; 2) businesses will always charge as much as consumers will tolerate -- right up until consumers stop buying or competitors undercut the prices. The fact that profit margins are up is not because businesses are changing their pricing policies, it's because demand is up so they can get away with higher prices. This is all predictable, not surprising.
When buying slows, prices will drop. The question: Can this happen without a recession or Volcker-style medicine from the Fed?
This is what the US of A needs! This is so incredible. We need facts like this to challenge these rt wingers when they come up with the same lame stories.
Nice video. I think I missed it first time around, hope it got or will get some AirPlay in 2022. It does seem like the Fed will tighten money supply soon, which maybe will calm prices some.
