    “battle against inflation” what battle? I don’t see us going after the corporate profit greed that is causing all of this. They use the word inflation like it’s some weird mystical word that we need to go to the profits (economists) for answers for. It’s corporate greed and late-stage capitalism, always has been and always will be. If little number has to always go up and can never stall or go down, you gotta start squeezing water from the stone at some point. Infinite growth is bullshit in a world that doesn’t have infinite growth. Most of the companies that are charging more and more for shit are doing stock buy backs, employment cuts, etc. People need to wake up to the reality of the fact that this shit isn’t some mystical mumbo jumbo, it’s very straightforward, the ruling class just doesn’t want you to understand it.
