    Just off the top of my head, some major ones are Walmart, Tyson, Perdue, At&T, Verizon, PG&E and many, many more.

        Yeah, those numbers are what’s left AFTER they’ve done a bunch of creative accounting to avoid taxes.

        Their ACTUAL profit margins are significantly larger and growing.

          Their ACTUAL profit margins are significantly larger and growing.

          Their gross profits are up because money is worth less because of inflation. The purchasing power of those “growing” profits has basically not changed.

            That’s just not true. And since this is the point where it’s clear that you’ll just keep repeating the same piece of misguided conservative orthodoxy over and over again, I’m gonna leave you to it.

                Thanks to the corporations you shill for. I’d say I hope that they’re paying a fair price for your dignity and integrity, but paying workers fair compensation is not something most corporations do…

                  Lol, you’re the one propagating the big banking propaganda that monetary inflation is not inflation.

                    Nah, big banks can go fuck themselves with THEIR predatory practices too. So can the crypto scams you probably consider more reliable than real currency.

                    The bottom line is that the Fed doesn’t drive inflation anywhere near as much as it did back when most money was in cash.

                    Corporate profiteering, on the other hand, is at an all time high both in absolute numbers and with regards to driving inflation.
