For many of us, it’s difficult to accept the news that inflation is under control when we still experience higher prices for everything. But there’s another important factor that we need to amplify: GREED! Apparently many corporations are testing consumer tolerance of high prices (and their higher profits!!) rather than bringing prices back in line with current costs. Check out this investigative article from NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/business/economy/profit-margins-inflation.html?unlocked_article_code=1.FE0.s-4q._u3IYE4tGr29&hpgrp=ar-abar&smid=url-share.

Agree…it’s a lot about the greed. The prices of many things skyrocketed when we were in pandemic mode and it felt great to make a ton of money. So why change?? In California, gas prices are $1-3 more than in neighboring states! Car prices are higher, food prices even higher… it’s just greed. Love my state but for many the blame is on the current administration, state and national They are single issue voters. And many only listen to right wing media and these voters don’t believe J6, Jack Smith, Liz and the like are anything but witch hunters. How do we get them to open their eyes when they believe they see clearly???
