    This comment just enforces the belief that you don’t understand the economy. A temporary small bump in cost during covid due to supply chain issues would be a supply and demand issue but if you’ve noticed, the bump was not small and it has continued ever since.

    You don’t get to make record profits and then blame prices on the pandemic. If it was solely due to natural inflation, profits would be similar to past years.

      The prices inflated due to the supply shortage during Covid have returned to normal levels. The grocery items which are seeing inflated prices today are due to a number of reasons, mostly due to climate change and animal illness. Every company operates in a manner as to increase profits. The pandemic forced businesses to eliminate jobs while increasing efficiency. So, profits are naturally going to increase.
