It’s hard to admit but the brain dead puppet was right about one thing - shrink-flation
My Mrs jus got herself some Taco Bell. The big burrito thing is easily two full inches shorter than it was a month or so ago. Same price just 25% smaller.
She is angry. Even madder when I told her “JB told you so”.

Shrink portions. Blame it on "inflation" celebrate record profits. And they will piss bitch and moan. They will blame it on anything, everything, and anyone, but those who ate responsible. Even when it's right there in front of their faces |

If you want to blame it all on big corporations then why didn't they do this before? They have a profit margin to maintain as any business needs to survive.

So when you have a profit margin to keep and you raise prices to meat that margin you keep the same margin not "record profits" for Fucks sake. Americans are so U.S. centric the rest of the world night as well not exist. Inflation is global. You k ow who lose is global? The corporations that jacked prices up and made record profits. Biden is a effing tool but to continue to blame him for I flation and saying three years ago when we were stacking body's in cooler trailers muh gas was only $1.80 while the world was shut down dud dur dur |

Simple math if my profit margin is 5% on $1.00 and then my cost go to $1.50 than my profit is $.75 instead of $.50.

Joe Bidens policies have had nothing to do with the insane amount of inflation we are suffering from today.
Yeah right. If you actually believe that I have a bridge I would like to sell you.
🤣😂😂😅🤣

Jeez.........if you don't like the size of the burrito go buy one elsewhere.
By the way, you're really falling into the name calling far right dogma.

If you don't think the heads of the big corporations who feed, cloth, and supply us with dry goods talk among themselves (conspire?) to maximize profits then you're pretty naive. These corporate heads move in a social setting far different than us. A simple conversation while at dinner, or golf, or fishing, or whatever can amount to price fixing. Like I said, they live in a different reality. Our reality is either take it or not. When you stop paying ridiculous prices for things that aren't really necessary then prices will drop. There is an alternative to $16.00 burgers at McD's. For the price of one steak you can feed a family of four chicken breast for a week. Now go ahead and blame the politicians for our own actions.

Let’s think about this, Covid Crisis, bidens war, I mean Ukraine/Russia conflict, .gov printing money line it’s the FOF5’s personal rolls of toilet paper, we have forced minimum wages, employers have to pay higher wages, insurance costs rise to
meet the new costs, everything keeps going up, up , up
Sooo much uncertainty. A corporation/business is in the game to make money. Period. They can’t hedge their bets on when things will stabilize in such extreme, uncertain conditions. They make a wrong choice and they’re done. You people sit behind your keyboards and think it’s an easy game to navigate? Please.
Things have just began to stabilize a bit in mid 2023
Hell I’ll even admit my grapefruit I saw at $1.79 last week.
Finally. That doesn’t mean the worse is over. Hell President dipshits weakeness and uncertainty and trying to play both sides with Israel just but the world on watch, again
So Publix and Kroger should drop their prices again even more right now?
Gmafb
People need to stop using emotions to dictate their lives
