Price-fixing cartels are driving up the cost of living for all Americans, including Trump's base, in order to make oligarchs better off.
Trump's fruitless search for a goreable ox: You can keep billionaires happy, or you can fight the cost of living crisis, but not both.

I think there would be a correlation, but in my view it is caused by multiple factors and not by an employment-inflation nexus (despite the NAIRU model). For example, we already know from recent experience with #GreedFlation when #bigMoney and the #Oligopolies were looking at shrinking opportunities to make a killing (super profits and stock market manipulation), that increasing profits is inflationary and has an adverse impact on jobs security, increases cost of living and gives rise to unemployment when small businesses are squeezed out. You’d think that the system would self-balance somewhere if not for greed and corruption and an controversial addiction to growth at all costs. A balanced (regulated) economy could sustain its society where ‘no one is left behind’ but where Millionaires are few and billionaires do not exist. This is no a ‘leftist’ view, simply being humane and compassionate. -
"Profit Streak".
Yeah, I guess that's one word for #PriceGouging
"Corporate profits have reached a record share of the U.S. economy" ...doesn't happen by accident. #Greedflation

You mean #Grifters , right? I mean, what’s the purpose of private enterprises if not to hoover cash? Especially in mostly uncompetitive sectors of commercial markets (not to say #Cartel -like environments).Airlines buy fuel contracts well ahead of needs, so any rise in airfares due to increasing fuel costs is just an excuse to cash in by speculating future contract prices… This side of #Capitalism just seems wrong to me. If we’re all going to do it tough because of the #ChristoJewishCrusade and #FascistImperialism , then why should #PrivateEnterprises and #MultiNationalCorporation (both recognised as #Entities before the Courts) not suffer the same as the rest of us?

Tegan George adds further weight to the argument favouring #TaxReform in the #FossilFuelIndustry and #GasSuperProfits with this article for The Point:
“A lead analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) has argued that conditions are ripe for an overhaul of how Australia taxes liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, with gas giants preparing to cash in on another global price surge.”

And, of course, at the first wiff of a tax on gas exports, wouldn’t you know it, the #GasGrifters are predicting the sky will fall.
“…the gas industry’s peak representative body, Australian Energy Producers, said a 25% levy against its exports would come at the “worst possible time for Australia’s economy and energy security … Imposing higher taxes on Australian gas producers would stop investment in new gas supply, leading to gas shortfalls, higher energy prices, and the closure of Australian industries that rely on reliable and affordable gas,” AEP’s chief executive officer Samantha McCulloch said.”
What utter BS. Once again, just for those who aren’t listening: There Is No Shortage Of Gas In Australia! And, yes, AUstralians are paying export prices for their domestic gas supplies (which translates into increased cost for many thing, including electricity). And NO, we don’t need more investments into new wells, we’ve Got Too Many for just domestic consumtion anyway.

I never get tired of tooting #GregJericho ‘s articles, because what he says, most of the time, is not just informative, it’s a booster shot against the #FakeNews and #EconomicMisInformation the #msm spews out — unfortunately with that much misinformation being the main narrative of all but a few news outlets and the #FifthEstate, a lot of it is bound to be believed as truth: like the furphy about increasing wages driving up inflation — everyone should know by now the inflationary dragon is #GreedFlation.
“There hasn’t been a wage breakout since I was in primary school but do not worry – the RBA is still on the watch, ever on alert to raise interest rates in an effort to increase unemployment and lower wage growth.”
Read more:
https://www.theguardian.com/business/grogonomics/2026/feb/18/real-wages-fall-australia-workers-economyBut the RBA is not about to let a debuked economic theory go to waste. So Greg is warning us of another rate rise likely to come if the RBA stays true to form — and why shouldn’t it?

Another great article from Greg Jericho in The Guardian. One of the grwphs that caught my attention was the Household Spending in December 2024 (see article) it shows household spending catching up to the long term trend after the worst economic effects of the pandemic. It also occurs during the #RBA ’s heavy-handed cash rate hikes to, supposedly, ward off #inflation (which is in its remit). So household spending, according to the RBA is inflationary if left unchecked. Whereas we all know (because it has been reported many time by reputable economists - such as Greg, of course) that greed was the cause of #Greedflation. Prices rose undeservedly so after a fall in profits due to lockdown. That is, inflation was caused by corporations trying to recoup their putative losses and the households of #Australia were penalised for the lack of regulations on market profits and the insufferable tax subventions afforded the coprorate markets.
There are lessons to be learned here which will go unheeded by the electorate. Right wing govt (or centre right for that matter) is about securing profits for #Corporations . What the rest of us get are #Crumbs to keep us in place - that in a nutshell is #NeoLiberalism

❝ The Federal Trade Commission sued the largest U.S. distributor of wine and spirits—Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, LLC (Southern)—alleging the company violated the Robinson-Patman Act, harming small, independent businesses by depriving them of access to discounts and rebates, and impeding their ability to compete against large national and regional chains. This loss of competition ultimately harms consumers on choice and price.

I hear bandied about that small businesses are going under because they cannot afford wage growth. WHAT growth? (See below) Given that wages keep falling behind, what is really driving small businesses under, because it sure isn’t wage growth…
#wagegrowth #smbs #grifters #corporatism #greedflation
“WORST WAGE GROWTH
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has reported Australia has some of the worst real wage growth among member nations, the SMH reports.The latest employment outlook from the OECD declared real wages in Australia remained 4.8% below pre-pandemic levels, putting the country behind the likes of the US, UK, and Canada.
“Real wages grew in 2024 for the first time in nearly three years, but households are still facing pressure under the cost of living crisis,” The Age quoted the OECD as saying.”

Caught some #shrinkflation in action from #BettyCrocker / #GeneralMills at #Kroger.
I bought what I thought were 2 identical boxes of brownie mix. Nominally the same product, and they're the same price, but one box (expires in 2024) contains 19.9 oz of mix, while the other (expires in 2025) only contains 16.3 oz.
That's nearly 20% less product for the same price. And the instructions call for the same amount of eggs and oil, so you end up with shittier brownies.

An industry-created grocery code of conduct in Canada has been drafted. It includes rules for fair dealing in the negotiations between suppliers and grocers.
Two big grocers -- Loblaws and Walmart of Canada -- decided "not to participate", "warning it could lead to higher prices for Canadians" (so... pass on the "fairness" to consumers and charge more than $40 for 5 pieces of chicken??)
