Google it
Companies are price gouging under the cover of inflation
They are going automated.
This is not a government for real people it is for all the big businesses behind.
The real reason why is...
CEOs of these food distribution companies: "This is horrible! I only made a few million in profit this year!! That's down 5% from before! We'll raise the price to make up for the loss and increase profit again."
That's what I was thinking
Thank bidens policy
Good going
yup
No it's because the left is spending trillions of dollars we don't have. Its Biden and the Dems.
Do a little research to seek the truth
Why did Biden cancel Nordstrom 2?
What happens to costs of everything when gas goes up?
Costs more to transport
Food etc.
Thank a Democrat inflation
The confusing thing to me about this “7%“ is there is not one food item that I’m aware of what the price was that only went up 7%. For instance Walmart brand spaghetti sauce had been $.88 forever and is now $1.28 that is more than 7%. Another item at Walmart that used to be $2.50 it’s now $3.54 again a food item. Shrinkflation is Israel - there are four food items that I used to purchase at Dollar tree for a dollar that decreased in size and are now $1.25 that is 25% of an increase of every food product sold at dollar tree. The struggle is when you already only purchased low price items non-brand-name items you can’t go any lower than that. Even the vending machine at my work went up 25%! And when gasoline was $1.56 in 2020 and is now $3.99 that is more than 7%. I do realize these are averages but there is not one item that I purchased that has not gone up- and that includes household bills
They lie with statistics, it's one of Bill Gates favorite books. Because I know eggs were 2.50 this time last year, now they are 4.45 for the cheapest carton. That's more than a 50% increase.
Per minute 🚵🏼♀️🚵🏼♂️😢😮
I'm just buying less and shopping sales at the grocery store. Wages will never catch up with inflation. Only the CEOs salary/bonuses.
@Lina’s Tarot-Oracle❤️ The average person is meant to only toil and watch their money devalue.
And don't leave out politicians giving themselves raises...it all starts at the tippy top!
yet, under Trump hardly any inflation, we had vs today, you fools who hated Trump wanted this.🙄
JuTau You are absolutely correct!
100% TRUTH
Greedy corporations, CEO’s of many of the companies raising prices are using any excuse to make more money!
The Biden Administrations uncontrolled spending has caused this economy. The companies have had to raise their prices because their costs have gone up.

I agree!!🍫🍫
So funny what we use as markers for inflation. For me it’s the cost of a bag of Cheetos. I remember it being $1 per bag. Now, it’s $5. Same crap, different price.
@@c-light7624 I remember when it was 2 for $1 for a small bag of Cheetos. I was 5 though lol

Big companies: “we must raise prices to compensate for increased cost of production!”
Yet they’re making record profits and rewarding their executives and CEOs while paying their workers miserable salaries.
At least, those rich guys will give some
of their fortune back to economy. So, our miserable life won’t collapse.
No ur wrong and i work in a manufacturing sector. The primary cause of inflation has been the rapid increase in the money supply by the fed to subsidize the federal govts massive deficit spending. Inflation is always is caused by credit created from thin air. It didnt help to pay people not to work. Wage inequity has been going up since nixon keft Breton woods and the fed started money printing snd deficit spending. Wall street got rich, middle class was destroyed.
STFU and sacrifice for Ukraine 🇺🇦
That’s ok. They can keep their pork, beef, chicken, and seafood. I’m becoming vegetarian…slowly moving towards vegan. Never knew cabbage, broccoli, and mushrooms could be so delicious and filling on their own. Just gotta learn to make different types of sauces. As they say, “Necessity is the mother of invention”.
You've got this! We have cut way down on meat consumption. I buy chickpeas in bulk, soak 2-3 cups a week, cook them, then use them in recipes to stretch the meat or go strictly vegetarian.
Last night we had turkey-chickpea-vegetable soup with turkey stock and a handful of chopped meat. Served over basmati rice with a dollop of greek yogurt this is a tasty, filling, and satisfying meal. The tube of you is a great place to get frugal vegetarian leaning meal ideas and sauce recipes. I make everything possible from scratch, including sauces and condiments.
Another favorite meal is a Thai inspired coconut-chickpea curry made with dollar tree coconut milk, peanut butter, Thai inspired curry spices, a sweetener, some ACV, chickpeas, and vegetables. You can make it hot with red pepper flakes or keep it mild. I usually get 8 servings for less than $3.
Another soup trick is to save broccoli stems and dark green cabbage leaves, chop small and freeze to add to soups. Freezing improves the texture. Onions, scallions, celery, carrots, cabbage, greens, and herbs are enough to make a variety of frugal meals. Then there are lentils, barley, oats, masa, pasta, rice, beans, and canned tomatoes.

It is not as though prices on beans, fruits and vegetables aren't also rising...
This is not a feel-good story, yet this woman is smiling and making jokes throughout. Just wanted to express my disgust.
Thank you, she’s part of the CORPORATE media
@@wantitwrite Yep, she and her employers are doing just fine, so the rest of us just need to be grateful for cheaper ice cream. Feels smug, like "you asked for higher wages peasants, so we just raised the cost of your basic human needs to offset that". Really shows how out of touch with reality the elites and upper class can be. That's the real news story here... not that it's anything new. A LIVABLE MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY INFLATION AND LOCAL COST OF LIVING ON AT LEAST A YEARLY BASIS!
Landlords and big businesses are price gouging because they can because they've created monopolies. They were able to create these monopolies because the regulations of the last two years have benefitted the big corporations.
Small landlords are not a monopoly and they can't price gouge. Expenses include Real Estate taxes, which may be too high and which the landlord has to pay, and that keeps expenses high. The city raised the RE Tax, even while they were closed for the first year of the pandemic. When expenses are high, the landlord has to charge more rent.
@Mia L everything you said is so close to the truth. Here is what happened. We were forced into an unnecessary and ineffective lockdown. Full stop. The economy was DESTROYED for literally no reason. Then big box stores were allowed to stay open. small businesses shut their doors. Stay 6 ft apart decreased the number of workers you could have operating your business other wise the government would fine you. The reason everything is fucked forget is because of absolute retarded.
Because of the greedy rich
Our whole family is buying seasonal produce, growing a garden like in the 40's , No Netflix/Hulu/Movies, etc., and No more premade foods, all homemade foods, and no more drinks or soda pop either. All drinks from home too. Cuppa tea to all.☕
Yeah Tea ! Drinking Green tea 🍵 every day helps increase energy and weight loss. Overall good health. No 👎 sugar just straight up Green T
Bingo
Wages increase by $1 but inflation increases much faster so we’re not only in the same as before but worse!
Even my small town is starting to see homelessness
Before the pandemic there was no homeless people in my city. Now there’s one on every other corner asking for money 😢
I write down my spending..
This is going on all around the world. It’s not just an American problem.
Really? I have been trying to figure out if my mom is correct in saying the whole world's economy is going to completely crash. It doesn't seem possible at all, but I also know I could be wrong thinking it isn't possible.
dude i'm an american living in china. i rent a 4 bedroom apartment with heated floors and 2 bathrooms. it's 300 a month minus parking. fuits and vegetables are far more affordable here. so is most seafood. its not worldwide.
Hmm not in japan…
@@myfoodisherelol that’s communist China. Not the same
@@BRAND-0 it's a socialist market economy. and you're right, it isn't the same. china is going through the same problems the west is, they are just handling the situation better.
We will find out next year how much profit companies have made this year at the end of the year and if it is price gauging. Grocery stores are still throwing out food. Have to love the 1 sided supply demand. Workers are in demand and instead of increasing pay companies cry about it. Nothing goes down in price except gas that always goes up and down. Time to raise the minimum wage. Our government needs to stop only helping and listening to corporations and start listening to the majority of average Americans.
My family is feeling it!!
Hang in there !
Same here!
@@jennifer7648 you too..stay informed, stay focused, do best you can with what you have.
Time to ditch em.
Just some advice from a single mom. Prior to going to the store, I see what I have in the cabinets and frig and plan meals according to those items. I also look for sale items or store brands only. Saves money. Walmart frozen vegetables, many our under $1. I did away with paper towels and use cloths I can wash. I buy walmart brand cleaners or $1 store cleaning supplies. As for gas, I plan errands same day to save on how many trips I make. I've also lowered my speed limit. I lower my heat when not home and at night while sleeping. Small changes.
All the best.
Don't sugar coating please... The USA is in deep. And is not because the pandemic.. started well before the pandemic.
All of these raise in prices is all about GREED.
Its because of Biden, too
Yep it’s greed less people buying from famous companies like adidas, hot Cheetos, etc because they raise their prices a lot. less money this companies earn, if they keep increasing prices they will go to bankrupt soon
It's obvious
I have 3 Old English Sheepdogs and 7 rescue cats. I’m paying $75 more per month for food and litter😡 I cannot imagine how rescues are paying for food and transportation costs.
All those landlords that got no money because of the moratoriums jacked up the prices once they ended
Do you blame them?
there was no reason the landlords shouldn't have been paid by the renters, during the 2020 and 2021 year the people on unemployment were making double than when they were working, and the government allowed these scum sucking renters to not have to pay rent REALLY
Some of the healthiest foods are still the cheapest; rice, potatoes, pasta, oatmeal, cabbage, beans.
Don't forget the icrecream!
@@pibblesnbits And it must be healthy because it comes in fruit flavors. Strawberry ice cream for breakfast, peanut butter cup ice cream for lunch, and for dinner I'm gonna splash out and get rocky road because the almonds are a healthy fat. 🤣
Only problem with that is that not everyone can eat those foods because of diseases and allergies.
@@40bpaula True. I am severely allergic to stevia and it is all "natural". The $4000 ER bill was excruciatingly painful! It hides in yogurt, bread, soda pop, etc.
@@happycook6737 Whoa! $5 thou?!!! Oh my goodness. I'm sorry to hear this, but yeah; once going through that has got to be enough.
no way is inflation in food only up.5%
I think they take an average. But I still think it is higher. Cooking oil doubled, mushrooms doubled, meats up 30-40%, rice up 25%, etc. I feel so sorry for everyone because times are tough.
The way they calculate it is fundamentally flawed in a way that skews it downward. It's likely well over 10%.
You know, I have heard from some Conservatives the reason why we shouldn't increase the minimum wage is because it could lead to increased inflation. The problem is price inflation happens every year, which is why nothing costs the same today as it did a decade ago. And yet, because the federal minimum wage hasn't increased in over a decade, anyone who works a minimum wage job has far less spending power today then they did 10 years ago because of that same inflation.
So get a real job. Minimum wage jobs are not supposed to be careers. they are entry level, 2nd job, high school, supplemental type jobs.
Every state has a min wage higher than fed. Many are doubled. That's why prices are going up is cause wages did go up
@@imadeplorable3732 yeah for sure. Wendy's here is paying $30k. Like who makes fed min wage?
Minimum wage should be 0.
@@kc2276 I agree. I bet people would make more than now if it was. Cause no minimum means they have to get smarter and more skilled and work harder to prove themself and keep job. Employees would compete harder for raises and good employees would have more leverage to demand higher pay or go elsewhere. Now no one tries cause min wage is a living wage and enough for them to get by. They think they need to be paid more before they work harder. I remember years ago when min wage was $4 an hour McDonald's had people with learning disabilities just walking around inside and out picking up trash, cleaning tables and sweeping. Also had more people. People didn't work too hard. Now half the people. They working harder and faster than landscapers and trash cans over flowing onto parking Lot and floor
It's weird seeing reporters smile and laugh about these issues.

thank Sleepy Joe and Trump haters, prove me wrong.
@@Gil7111TX We started seeing prices go up in the paper business while Trump was still President. Not only paper, but all prices on everything we buy, to run our business. Now these price increases are just starting to hit the consumers. This has little to do with politics. It is a bit more complicated than that.

I quit purchasing the same goods as last year. This is just a periodic belt tightening time.
Turning down the heat, wearing an extra layer, cooking from scratch, and getting rid of unnecessary expenses.
My food budget has been no more than $1 a day per person for many years and this frugal habit won't change much. I just grow more of my own produce, brew my own beer, stretch the "free" Thanksgiving turkey until March, let the broody hens keep their babies, and sell extra chicken and duck eggs in order to afford the 80 cent increase for a pound of coffee. Priorities, I have a few. Nothing is expensive if you don't buy it.
Love the last line in your post! So true and we have been so spoiled for so very long.
I'm in Texas and am thinking of trying youpon tea. Supposed to have just as much caffeine as coffee. Got plenty of that stuff around here. I generally don't leave the house but once a week anyway, since I retired. Dry my clothes on a clothes line. Haven't used the dryer in several months. Garden is started and extra seeds put away. Plum, pear and figs are a bit too young yet to produce. Strawberries and blueberries are in. Garlic and onions are doing great. Potatoes go in this weekend. Buying bulk ancient grains for my morning cereal. Hoping the bees do good this year. But, it's an Easter Egg Hunt each day for the eggs. My chickens are free-range.
@@lynnbetts4332 Sounds wonderful, except for the "Easter egg hunt" lol I was never good at that. Truthfully I didn't know there were parts of Texas that were rainy enough to have agriculture. I've always liked Texas but never lived there.
@@happycook6737 Texas is huge. Lots of different planting zones and soils. The Rio Grande Valley in South Texas has a huge citrus industry, being subtropical. Panhandle grows wheat. Central Texas is big cotton and corn. Being on the Gulf, we get hurricanes, and those areas get tons of rain. I think the record is 40" during one hurricane. Plus, we have multiple rivers. My area averages 40-45" of rain per year.

Because some farmers decided to discard their crops and bury them because they couldn't "sell" it, rather than give to the poor. When they already get tax write-offs.

@@Elizabethgreen779 What one investor considers a "good" ROI may be unacceptable to another. A good return varies by risk tolerance, the more risk you're willing to take, the higher return you'll expect. Conversely, risk-averse; getting a lnvestment manager to help you set suitable strategies to enhance your return more effectively remains a priority
I highly recommend (Genevieve Glen Rogers) an lnvestment manager working under a licensed body of a wealth management firm. You can do a quick internet search with her full name and get in touch with her.
Thanks! this makes the most sense. I'll be delighted to take part in this great experience
There is a limit to price increases. If prices get too high then demand will drop. However this could be a problem as unemployment could go up as layoffs could begin. Not exactly the ideal situation.
Are you that naive to think prices will not continue to increase John Dyer?If you are, your'e only fooling yourself. Prices are not going to be like they were during the 1890-1900's Sear and Roebuck catalog days🤣
What's that limit going to be ?
@@christopherfreeman1340 He's not saying that prices haven't increased. The point is that things will become so expensive, people will stop buying them. For example. If the cost of avocados quadrupled, people would stop or drastically reduce how much they buy, which could eventually lead to employees along that chain getting laid off.
Every item has a breaking point where people will do without, for better or worse. People already go without insulin (which is extremely dangerous/fatal) because they can't afford it.
You've completely missed the point.

if wages suddenly doubled overnight, prices would more than double before your next paycheck. that gap will NEVER close. and now, people who were not working minimum wage jobs are suddenly minimum wage earners. it turns out that sitting around in an office all day on the computer is actually not worth more than flipping burgers. there will only be the rich and the poor then the rich will be no more.
I think office workers should make less than a burger flippers. I have three degrees in supposedly high demand fields and can only find minimal wage food prep work. Screw office workers getting to sit in comfy chairs and not have to lift anything more heavy than a binder or a ream of paper. Make us food workers make more money than office workers. Most Office workers are lazy, stupid, and spoiled. I'm much smarter than they are yet I can't get a 20$ an hour office job. Kick the office worker wages in the teeth and make them minimum wage too!

I have been trying to tell people for the last 8 yrs that they want us all to accept the new upper middle class are all millionaires.
If you want to think smaller, it’s that the $5.00 is now really a 20$ bill. In some areas the variant is much wider. In some slightly lower.
You can see this in property valuations per county throughout the most vibrant growing areas. I’m not even sure “per capita” even plays anymore.

Don’t try to add rent to the equation. Rent has been a problem for years.
Taxes and Rent have gone up 11% they are never pulled back. Gasoline is up 45% and heating fuel is up 35%. Auto Prices up a combined 32% new and used. That's on average a lot more than 7.5% folks.

Prices increased and packaging decreased. BTW, icecream prices aren't down, you are just seeing sales due to decrease in packaging. Once the shock of that decrease in package size is over, the sales go away. Chip bags and even soda cans are smaller.

General inflation is the result of one thing, and one thing only: An increase in the supply of money, none of this is related to supply and demand of individual goods, but rather the supply and demand of "currency".

Inflation is NOT everyone having more money, it's everyone having more worthless money.

Food prices are still way too f-- high and I can’t afford it. Even In 99 cents stores there’s nothing that’s 99 cents.
We are suffering and my debt is increasing
I gave up on mine.
Remember when you all received stimulus check?
Well, here you go...
Nothing is free.
Now is the time the government say, time to pay us back!!!
I'm done with fast food and I'm done with tipping
Yes, apart from wages, everything is going up, including company profits.
Because we have no agricultural appreciation.
Remember the minimum wage and other cost of living raises? They have to get it back. Everything we get a raise, they take that and more. So sad
Plus the pandemic stimulis money needs to be paid back...nothing is for free.
My husband and I live in phnx az, we were hoping to buy a home but with house prices being so high now everything was out of our price range so we rented an apartment with the base rent at 1230 now this same apartment floor plan is starting at 1750 that’s a $500 increase! & last time I checked our incomes didn’t increase $500 and im so scared that we’re going to end up living on the streets with our new born 💔
Wow! I used to live in Mesa Az and it was very affordable. Those prices are high for AZ! Good luck.
An unmentioned reason for inflation is the rapid & excessive of housing development, most of which are temporary housing for vacationers. And unbearable burden of homeless, majority of which over 60% prefer to be homeless & live free on taxpayers dime . Both reduce the supply chain & increase the cost for everything.
We’re able to afford it if we just stop eating in ripoff restaurants
Corporate greed it’s the reason
The Federal Reserve and the World Economic Forum's plan is the reason.
We’re going to eat eggs with rice and salt from now on 🤦🏻♀️
Record breaking profits not contributing to the prices!?! Just inflation is to blame? Something wrong here!!!
When you shut down oil production by 4 billion barrels a day and you closed out the pipelines COST of ENERGY GOES UP and the cost of producing EVERYTHING goes up transporting EVERYTHING goes up.
It’s the same in Canada. Rent has doubled since the pandemic started and utilities as well. Food is becoming an out of reach necessity for many of us single parents and disabled individuals. Gas is $1.60 per litre here
Thanks for the great news
When your a loner who is trying to have a place to stay … and they raise up the price of everything you essentially need. Problem: The world is too populated now.
Yea more ppl need to die
@HunterBidensCrackPipe ur name is hunterbidenscrackpipe
Instead of trying to keep up with how we used to spend, why not cut back a bit? We may not want to, yet we have to. We all need to adjust and adapt...
Only a 7% increase in food cost? What store are they shopping at. I want to go there.
Increased cost of grocery items plus smaller package sizes too!
Making saltine crackers from scratch now. Much better than store bought.
I did that living overseas and they are delicious. I also made cheese crackers. Another easy bread-y thing are flour tortillas (They don't have to be perfectly round) and English muffins (made in pan on stove top). I also make cornbread. I make my own "mix". Then it's quick. Muffins too. I also made a solar oven out of recycled materials. It is great! Just look up solar cooking recipes. They need some adjustments.
what app can i use to make videos like these
Hi from Australia! Inflation is roaring along here too - like a toastie little fire! Petrol = $1.95/litre! rising costs everywhere you care to look.
Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear that! Beautiful country full of lovely people. I have many fond memories of visits to various places in QLD. Someday I hope to see more states!
Why does no factor in corporate greed? Corporations earning call suggest companies are making tons of money off of inflation. Companies (many that are basic monopolies) are raising prices higher than needed and pulling in sometimes near record breaking profits. They are doing this for the profits (obviously) but also to frame inflation as being caused be the increases in wages some workers are earning. I am unsure as to why this is not explored and highlighted be the media and why no action is being taken by governments to address this. I believe it has to do with corporate money in politics. It's interesting to reflect on how much would get done for the average American if corporations were unable to buy politicians on both sides of the aisle.
Because the corporate media is reporting. All these news channels are owned or sponsored by the same corporations that are making record profits. The news stations won’t report on their bosses.
Don’t forget gasoline!
Gotta love the government. We finally get a foot hold with pay increases and they have to put another road block
This is a world wide problem not a single government is solely responsible
@@jennifergarza7766 Read the World Economic Forum and Klaus Scwab's quotes. It is a well laid out plan.
I haven’t got a pay increase
Stop asking for government handouts! Work! I'm 18 and worked my way up to Starbucks manager making $19.15 and I'm hoping to one day buy Starbucks and pay a minimum wage of $25 to all of the baristas because I was one too. You don't see me demanding free money. I may be young, but I know a lot about life. I'm just giving you helpful advice.
@@swallowedinthesea11 lmfao. Your 19 kiddo. Wait until your 30, married, have kids, have debt from medical bills from your child’s birth, dealt with 2 recessions, and Pile all that on top of bills, taxes, interest, THEN your $20 an hour won’t make even the tiniest of dent and come back to talk to the adults
Q
ACTUAL FOOD PRICES HAVE INCREASED ROUGHLY 25% TO 30% IN 2 MONTHS.
1.5 WEEK BREAK.
PRICES CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND NOW IS UP IN THE 50% TO 200% RANGE DEPENDING ON THE ITEMS.
Q
Consumers are to blame for most of this but we love to fine someone to blame
WRONG, the federal Reserve is the real culprit.
Packaging prices have gone up significantly in the last couple years. As well as other business supplies.
@@kevinbossick8374 Packaging and canning machines require oil lubricants for their machines and they can't get the amount they need due to the shutting down of the pipeline.
@@JP-nq7wf We are a top exporter of oil. Stop with the non sense. There are so many factors involved. But make it all political if it gets you off.
@@kevinbossick8374 if you don't see politics in this then your blind. Sorry, I have lost all respect for Liberals and how their mind works. They seem to be allergic to facts.
Why not do a check in on how much money the CEOs of companies are making? Guaranteed they are raising prices because they can. As always. Salaries have not kept up with inflation for DECADES. Not a new thing.
Last year the US took in 3.3 Trillion in revenue, they spent 6.6 trillion. I think we all plainly see where the inflation came from.
Did a pandemic exacerbate the issues, sure.... but at its core the inflation is Government sponsored.
Federal Reserve OWNS the government. The culprit is the Fed.
@@charlesritter6640 You are correct. The World Economic Forum's website tells us their plan. They have a plan to starve the world's population into submission. Now all they need is a war for an annual income. The Fed finances both sides of the war so they get rich no matter who wins.
@@JP-nq7wf yep, this is all about the great reset. "You will own nothing and you will be happy "
