The answer to the question "why doesn't the Government just print more money?" has always been because it would cause inflation.

Its more the war in Ukraine impacting supply/fuel/shipping plus knock on effects of Covid disruptions and corporate greed(raising more then inflation/wages and makimg recprd profits) then normal inflation.

Inflation/costs go up say.. 6% and Pepsico and the like raise prices by 15

It's not the War in Ukraine.
It's not supply chain disruptions or workers shortages.
It's not increased fuel costs.
It's not supply and demand.
It's not interest rates remaining too low for too long.
It's not increased labor costs.
And it's not all the money Trump and Biden injected into the economy.

It's corporate greed. That's it. That's the answer.

Corporate profits in the nonfinancial sector hit a record high of $2.08 trillion in the third quarter even as 40-year-high inflation continues to squeeze American consumers.

They couldn't price gouge without increased demand and consumers willing to pay their inflated prices. Why as demand increased? Because people in general have more money.

The causes for inflation are the same as its always been. Mostly Demand, money printing, and spending.

The pandemic happened.

a very tiny percentage of industries and companies had to raise their prices a little bit. This was back in 2021.

but then all corporations realized they wanted trump and his tax breaks and his wealth transfers from the middle class to the super rich, and they also realized they had a unique opportunity to price gouge and blame the pandemic. Want a car? Chip shortage! Want food? Supply lane issues! Want a fucking carrot grown locally? Errrrr covid kills carrots!

soon any CEO caught not price gouging would have to face a stern reprimand from investors.

were 2/3 into 2024 and companies are still using price gouging as an excuse. Welcome to corporate greed

agreed... the corpos dont care if the country gets burned to the ground, so long as they can make a few dollars right now thats all that matters, even if it means they go bankrupt in 2 years, they are too blind to see the big picture , and want all the money they can get right now, regardless who they have to ruin to do it.

Not all consumer demand is perfectly elastic. People still have to eat food regardless of how much it costs.
