1. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾 Watch the profit *MARGINS* if they're going up then "inflation" is bullshit.

Cause if they're just passing on material price hikes to consumers then their margins should be flat !!!

2. They are also jacking up prices to make Biden look bad

and give the rethugs something to whine about

[Uncle Joe]

3. I agree Wicked Blue,

make megabucks and help the Republicans in November.

6. I was thinking the very same thing last week

9. You know it!

4. Is a "windfall profits tax out of the question?

How about rolling back the Trump tax break?

5. Joy Reid is talking about this exact thing right now. She has a woman on who went through hundreds

of Q4 corporate earnings reports and almost all where crowing about how they have and will raise prices through the roof.

Wall Street is actually punishing firms with big sell-offs when they announce they will not raise prices.

7. I saw that and got really, REALLY pissed off

[Uncle Joe]

8. It's a shame our cultural maturity as a nation is so far behind our technological state.

I believe that's one advantage more seasoned nations of the advanced group have over us, perhaps it's because they have been around longer to mature but I believe they're more likely to consider their people as people versus just a financial resource to be mined.

That's the current state of the world anyway.

That's not saying the other advanced nations haven't and can't regress

10. It is so clear. An excuse to rape the consumer. Tragic really, as many live hand to mouth.

11. the peasants are not supposed to get pissed off !! just ask drumph !!

[madville]

12. The same pharmaceutical industry we are flooding with cash

Sending 100’s of billions to because of COVID.

Moderna stock Pre-COVID - $20 a share
Peak during COVID - $450 a share
Current - $160 a share

Make no mistake, people have made billions off of this pandemic, most of it pumped in from the federal government and then cashed out by shareholders.
