At least try to feed the customers some bullshit and spin things so it's understandable that you just have to pay more for the same product now. But it seems like everything is just "Yeah it costs more now. The end." Where's the romance?

Feel like this started really ramping up with the ridiculous overexaggerated egg shortage. That was a real bullshit reason for price hikes and when other companies saw that they could get away with it, they just did it too.

yup. when it comes things people need or are legally required to have (shelter, food, insurance, healthcare), corpos realized they can just skyrocket the prices and nothing will be done about it because people need or are legally required to have those things.

I mean lets be real any justification will never been seen as satisfying because most people care not for operating costs of running any company.

Surely that's the real reason for the costs when they're making record breaking profits all the fucking time.

You'll take it. And you'll keep taking it until you die.

Your dollar will keep being worth less. You'll skimp by more and more.

The rich will keep getting richer. You'll keep getting poorer.

Then you die.

Since you ignored the point it really proves me right here that people wouldnt give a shit about any actual break downs of price increases regardless if they have a justification or not.

What about the shareholders! Have you even considered them? If its not going up it may as well be dead in the fucking water. If you got a problem with that, invest your money and become a shareholder, til then, yknow eat a bag of dicks or eachother or something just dont come raging against passive income!!!! /s

The local Captain D's has fish & fries (and two hushpuppies) for $6.50 after tax.
That's all I ever wanted there anyway.

The worst part is when prices go up and quality or quantity go down.

Corporations know they have everyone by the balls. Especially if it's something people buy regularly.

corporate executives are parasites. they get into a brand, squeeze as much short-term profit as they can, and then they switch jobs, leaving everyone else to get fucked.

it was 3$ per dozen. it's around 2.10$ now.

also to note: spectrum decided to raise my internet rate 5$ (at least they're reasonable if i can cut some services out).
don't need tv service and landline now.
