So they blame the president and legislature for inflation. . How do we prove corporations and companies are simply price gauging?

@whowasthatmaskedman so why name ONLY politicians?

@jehova Maybe you should be asking the people who name them? 😷

@whowasthatmaskedman oil companies, record profits ...meat distribution, record profits.. paper companies, record profits (toilet paper)

@jehova

They are in charge
They over tax
They give money away to easily
They over spend
They allow products to be made outside USA
They make it hard to make products in USA with over regulations
They are pandering to big business
They add taxes and fees instead of responsible spending
They allow cooperate loopholes in the tax codes

@Sevendays yes not regulation just greed. Welcome to capitalism, in America; especially.

@jehova

No regulation...?

🤡

@Thrust these 'owners' are manipulating labor the market and prices to create profit. Is it a lack of regulation a lack of enforcement. Shortage of staff or. . . Greed?

@jehova Create a business plan. Secure capital investment. Take a risk. Set your prices according to what the market will bear. You might be successful, you might not. Try that in North Korea, China, Venezuela, or even some countries in Europe. No system is perfect. But I highly doubt you'll find a system as good as it is here or one that provides as much opportunity. As long as the government doesn't choose winners or losers and try to control the crap out of things. All businesses are dealing with the impact of inflation on the cost of goods and doing business. Those increases are seen by the consumer. The only greedy ones are the state and federal governments.

@rfatoday i agree one hundred percent. im worried beaurocrats (legislators mostly) are getting heavy handed and overly involved. This is how 'superpowers' fall. Rather than try to control the market(which will waste resources and weaken the safeguards we do have) the regulators (government, mostly) need to let the events run their course. And be ready to pick up the pieces. Instead we have THIS (argument and waste).

@Thrust regulation is proving difficult and in some ways counterproductive (fewer jobs\less wage\ higher prices).

@pdockal 😂😂😂 How are you going to stop the rest of the world from making products?

How do you reconcile those two points? If they were pandering to big business they wouldn’t be over regulating.

@JPWhoo

Are you intelligent ?????
It's cheaper to use labor outside USA which is what big business pushed for

Congress is suppose to work for WE THE PEOPLE not big business or themselves which is my point

@Sevendays I agree with you. And due to deregulation its all legal..So you see where the problem is..😷
