    Makes sense. Biden was prattling on about shrinkflation a few weeks ago when he was trying to pretend he was looking out for the common person suffering from capitalism eating all their economic growth for decades.

    It’s such an easy target to look like you care, without doing shit. Oh this cookie is 13% smaller? I’ll get right on that, ignore the 1300% corporate profit increase, the stagnant wage growth for 63 years, the CEO wages growing 9300% compared to workers, etc, etc.
