    Biden has called this out. A lot of companies are still raising prices or aren’t letting prices fall. They’re still saying “oh, this is inflation causing this” while their costs fall and their profits rise.

    Biden can’t stop them singlehandedly. (He’s a President, not a Supreme Dictator.) But he can call them out on it and use what powers he has to bear down on them somewhat if they don’t stop.

    It might not get all of them to stop (some might risk fines because the profits would be greater), but hopefully it will direct the anger towards the actual culprits - big companies taking advantage of past inflation to raise prices.

      No but since he couldn’t stop them he decided the working class would pay the price and had the Federal Reserve fuck over the American people.

        The Federal Reserve is independent of the President. They technically answer to Congress, but in reality it’s to the big banks.

          Powell was reappointed by Biden. Biden is responsible for what Powell does.
