Here comes durayuk to start another argument.
Corporate greed? How does Mary barra making $30M cause your gas, electric, propane, grocery and pretty much everything else in this country to skyrocket in price?

Why is it an argument when someone shows you the facts?

You need to understand economics. Business raise prices, consumers pay the prices, business makes record profits.

If inflation was not tied to corporate greed you would have high prices and low profits. Right now you have high prices and record profits.

Riddle me that. Oh wait, Let's blame 1 individual.

Last I checked Mary is a ceo. Her company made record profits. https://www.carscoops.com/2023/01/g...ed-2022-with-record-earnings-of-14-5-billion/

Record corporate profits are driving this. Hopefully some of it will trickle down to the labor and not just stock buy backs. https://thehill.com/business/375645...in-third-quarter-amid-40-year-high-inflation/

Check out the grocery stores lol. Making bank at your expense and your too busy blaming the wrong factors. These ceos must be laughing at us. https://civileats.com/2023/05/22/fo...hriving: Between,than $155 billion in profits.

So your first mistake Is making everything political. Change that channel for a minute. Try.

I'm talking about record profits. Do you know what profit means? a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something.

So if everything costs more....labor...goods....materials....etc then how would their be RECORD profits ? So is that artifical inflation your seeing as a result of corporations blaming one thing then doing another? Absolutely. The pain the average person is seeing is directly related to corporate greed.

Why do you think UAW is on strike? Because the companies are making RECORD PROFIT and the labor is getting non of it.

So please step outside the bubble and look at things thru an objective lens. Look at things for how they are not how your channel sells it to you.

Here's the example:

Historically poop sells for $2 a pound. Costs me 1.50 to make it and I make .50 profit per pound.

Today poop sells for 6$ a pound. Costs 3.00 to make it I make 3.00 profit per pound = record profit. But I blame the government not my own greed.

@DuraYuk this conversation started by someone saying the fed’s low interest rates caused inflation. What really caused inflation is the govt spending and fed printing money like crazy over the last 3-4 years, couple that with horrible economic policies, u have major inflation. You think it’s caused by CEO’s profits. And you think the uaw is striking cuz of record profits by their companies, yea the uaw president says that but why are the workers really struggling? Because they make the same amount of money they did 4-5 years ago but now their cost of living has gone up, food, utilities, gas, clothes, so they can’t make ends meet anymore just like everyone else so they need a raise.
So please step outside your ceo/company profits bubble and see the big picture

Have u ever noticed that you get in arguments with so many different people on here?
Crazy we live in a time where people are still blind to what’s really going on in this country

Sorry. That was me. I didn't mean to turn the conversation from a one about UAW strikes turning into a shortage of new Yukon/Tahoes into one about interest rates and US monetary policy.

It's not an argument. Problem is I'm a person of objectivity. When I see blatant misinformation I correct it. Facts drive me. Sources compel me. You guys get yourself all knotted up when someone shows how your wrong.

Rather then keep the conversation going you either make it political or start name calling.

It's tiresome. I give you the info then you resort to childish antics again. It's crazy. But I enjoy the entertainment. And I'm sure the others who read along can see what's what.

I just remember forums being a place where enthusiasts came and got objective information. Now it's a cess pool of opinionated zealots and cliques. The real info is lost.

Hopefully that changes but I doubt it..most are on message boards and Facebook these days.

@DuraYuk may be argumentative, and I laughed when I saw the post saying here he is trying to start another argument.

However the part in bold has been going on long before the last 3-4 years. Every political party, administration, Congress, etc. has been guilty of this because there is no actual mechanism to prevent it.
