Corporations are a lot more willing than usual to raise their prices lately, and it’s putting more of the burden of high inflation on consumers.
That may not come as much of a surprise to anyone who has browsed a grocery aisle, kicked the tires at a car dealership or filled up a gas tank of late, but even the Bank of Canada is starting to take notice of the trend, as the central bank continues its battle to wrestle inflation into submission.
Speaking to a parliamentary committee in Ottawa this week, the bank’s governor, Tiff Macklem, told lawmakers that the bank has noticed a troubling new trend coming out of the corporate sector.
For much of the past few decades, any time businesses have seen a jump in their input costs — the amount they pay for things like raw materials, energy and even workers — “they were pretty cautious about passing on [that cost into] the prices they charged for goods and services,” Macklem said.
Their reasoning was simple: they were afraid of losing customers.
Hey, everyone. You don’t show up to the semi finals without practicing and think you’re going to accomplish anything else but getting dunked on.
You can’t just wait around and then react when bad stuff happens. You need to practice and organize and scrimmage throughout the year. Then when the big day arrives, you all know what to do.
Start small, and grow your action. Started by building channels to coordinate actual group actions/boycotts. Tell all those bots that work real hard to tell us all to just ignore their collusion instead of organizing. Then start picking off small players with organized boycotts. Build momentum. Start fucking stuff up a super minor inconveniences to scare the ever loving shit out of these companies trying to pull bigger schemes.
You would think we didn’t have a massive communication channel attached to our hips ffs
The sheep can’t hear you over the sound of munching grass. The cattle have no care for what their bells say.
You show me how to eradicate wilful ignorance and deliberate belligerence and I’ll show you a functional society.
It might as well be a broken translator.
Knock the sheep stuff off mate, unify people! I don’t always know how to lead in every area and the same goes for lots of people.
You can lead a troglodyte to knowledge but you can’t make them think.
Of course you downvote me 😂
Of course you miss the point. Thanks for being the perfect example.
You catch more with honey is all I’m saying
Flies prefer vinegar, thanks for being the perfect example of both the wilful ignorance and deliberate belligerence I was talking about. You couldn’t have performed your role any better.
That’s funny 🤣 I never said flies
Wouldn’t picking off small players just make the problem worse? We’d have even less options than we do now.
