Can't help but wonder if "inflation" is really war profiteering in disguise. Just saying....

4. It's greedflation. Ramped up by Covid, but they're tickled pink by the war.

14. And we are so used to being abused, that we just accept it as the natural course of events.

6. General Opportunism.

COVID, war, natural disaster. "Opportunities" all in Dead-End Capitalism.

8. Seems to be lots of gas for sale at a very high price. No dry gas pumps I know of.

9. Republicans control the economy

The see high prices and inflation as hurting Democrats, so we are in for it. To a wealthy person, they do not even pay attention to prices at the grocery or at the pump, it just doesn't matter. When you live on Social Security, a dollar increase in the cost of gasoline or $7.00/lbs for hamburger is significant.

11. On September 1, 2001, gas stations around here jacked their prices up to 10 to 12 dollars per gallon

People were outraged, and within a day or two prices had gone back to normal.

That was called out around the country as profiteering, and everyone saw that clearly.

Now, what was called profiteering is called smart business.

12. Inflation was climbing before "war" -- Covid greed is a contributing factor imho.
