I personally think that what we’re seeing with inflation is a complete scam. These companies are posting record profits and they still find excuses to raise prices. I’ll tell you what I really think it is. I think that these companies know that people are making more money so they cook their books or whatever and raise their prices to squeeze every dollar out of us that they can. These companies have so much money. From what I understand, labor for many companies is a fraction of their expenses, so higher wages probably isn’t an excuse. It’s at something like 8% a year? What I personally think it is is there are so many job openings so companies are pushing people into second jobs. People need time to be with their families! When I think of this, I think of all the kids whose parents won’t be at their soccer game and how damaging this must be to kids.
