Who's responsible for the current high prices?

[Crepitus]

I have some sympathy for the thought.... But I can't think of a single time with that kind of interference worked in something as large and disparate as the food economy.

Someone must regulate the regulators.

Someone must regulate the regulators.

I think that might be somebody with a three-letter name that begins with g.

No, they resulted from it. They are not the cause. Think better.

I didn't say they were the cause. I said they added to it.

 

[Rambunctious]

You are playing stupid word games rather than admitting that the OP is absolutely correct. You continue to blame BIDEN for high prices and inflation, that are the result of your free market economy.

Calling on the government to control prices in a free market economy is the very definition of "socialism". Just like supply chain shortages, were created by a "just in time" market economy delivery system, and worsened by deregulation and downsizing in the Commerce Department under the Trump Administration. Fewer staff at ports of entry to admit goods and collect all those new tariff's Trump added.

As always, once proven wrong, you deflect or move the goal posts.

Actually it was he who was playing word games I corrected him...

Funny how everyone in the world has worse inflation than us, super dupes...

What’s the title of the thread?

Half of recent US inflation due to high corporate profits, report finds​

The corporations have been quick to pass on any increases in cost, but not inclined to pass on the savings when costs went back down.

So not really inflation anymore, but greedflation.

This, my republican friends, is why capitalism requires regulation and oversight.

Wrong, inflation is due to Joe Biden cutting our fossil fuel industry. We don't need that kind of 'regulation and oversight.'

I was thinking more of "we the people".

Thas lie is not gonna fly, Junior. Try something else.

We are pumping more oil than ever before. Far more than tRump did, for instance.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

They're also pricing in future higher costs.

You've never done so much as a cursory business model, have you?

That’s called gouging, dupe.
How many quarters are required for such a maneuver?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

in a normally functioning economy replacement costs will always exceed present cost.

For how long?
What margin of error do they factor in?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Disparate?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

I think that might be somebody with a three-letter name that begins with g.

Seriously?

I was right; you have NFI....Fucking ignoramus.

B.S. Our reserves are drained and we're buying oil from Venezuela and Iran. Biden had to open up Willow because of prior contracts that Biden did not want to get sued over. New drilling is only allowed on trial lands. Biden has no solid approval from BLM that wholesale DEVELOPMENT will take place. The IRA legislation actually REQUIRES more drilling as a compromise to get it passed!! You've been sold a false bill of goods from the Biden administration and don't even know it!!

Gouging is a made up thing, to appease poor, stupid people.
