Should greedflation be limited by government?

Covid saw increases in price to make up for supply issues and loss in sales. Seeing that they can keep prices without loses sales means they didn't have to lose revenue. Imagine if prices tripled and soon poverty tripled after that. Prices will do down as we correct our spending, leading to deflation.

USAID was cut and things are still getting worse. Is this based off something you read or is this your theory?

>If prices for everything goes up, how are they profiting more? Labor costs and costs of production also increase with inflation.
You can see inflation vs price increases and you can see profits increase with the changes. There's this idea that billionaires are struggling to keep the lights on while profits increase so you don't feel like workers and consumers are getting a bad deal or at least a deal contingent on continued profitability, meaning when it's making enough money to keep running, enough money to generate profit, but not enough profit to serve the interests of investors who need not just profit, but growth in profit, you reach a point of autocannibalism. It's worse with the inclusion of private equity firm profit interests added to the mix.

NTA but burger prices were going up before covid. Low burger prices, value menu prices, were a product of strategy being implemented by a company that can more easily weather the storm of operating at a loss. Also as a publicly traded company, costs of production getting cheaper hardly results in prices coming down or worker conditions getting better, exec payouts, government bribery, and stock dividends are a priority. You want to report profits and remain more profitable than you did last quarter, that's the whole point of buy stocks. The result is benefits hardly go to workers amd value hardly go to customers.

Profit motive. Large corporations are publicly traded and are geared to make profit. Profit comes from many places, but when you go quarter by quarter needing to make more profit than the last time, you begin to cut back on everything that makes you good to consumers and employees. Convenience, good value, upward mobility, decent benefits, etc to us that is everything, but to them, that's fat to trim and send upwards to their pockets as dividends and CEO payouts.

Inflation is based on CPI, consumer price index. Corporations found they can keep increasing prices and people would still pay, they keep making record profits.

It was clearly screamed through Cosmo memes "I CAN'T AFFORD GROCERIES, RETARD" and illegals keep food cheaper. Tariffs make things more expensive. All the Trump campaign had to do was promise 90s value meal prices without explaining how they would do that or what made food more expensive to begin with. The voters weren't just uncritical of Trump, they weren't at all curious about any of this.

>can't raise prices without losing business
Historically untrue. Inflation is based on consumer price index, increasing prices. Hey isn't it weird that they keep making record breaking profit as they raise price? It's almost like they have some sort of profit motive that drives that trend.
