Gee, it’s almost like corporations are gouging consumers so badly that their market advantages are being lost due to greed. Inflation this quickly isnt real. It’s what happens when you come off a global pandemic with millions dead and corporations see they can freely abuse you by exploiting the public zeitgeist that prices are going up due to inflation.

    I agree that McDonald’s sucks and I don’t ever go there but this isn’t how economics works. The current inflation isn’t an illusionary public perception thing it’s a real and tangible transfer of wealth and erosion of the value of labor of regular people. We are heading towards a future where society’s resources are no longer being allocated to us.

      I keep telling people that those who are rich love blaming inflation, it barely affects their spending and will make their business more money…

      This is an excuse to raise prices because of inflation. Those burgers cost them pennies on the dollar.

        They don’t need an excuse. I’m not making an excuse for them anyway, I’m saying focus on the real problem (to be clear, not inflation) instead of demanding sympathy from a corporation that was and will always act as your adversary.
