Hmph. Such disingenuous language. But yep, greedflation and shrinkflation are rampant.

ANY DISCUSSION of inflation is misleading if it does not also include discussion of the rise in corporate profits in the past 4-5 years and further, the last 60 years, all while their tax liabilities have gone down below that of the middle class and poor.

All the media squawking "inflation!" "inflation!" but ignoring corporate profits and low or non-existent corporate taxation, are deliberately misleading the public so that they will blame Biden. Biden does not control corporate prices.
