Increasing prices solely because they can
So, you're paying 40% more for bacon and eggs at the grocery, but a meal deal from Burger King increases in costs "solely because they can?"
You do realize that businesses have to buy stuff, even at wholesale, right? I buy beef directly from a family that raises them and has them slaughter them, but their feed costs more, etc., so the meat costs more. What's so difficult to get?

And taking it further: who controls the corporations? The Central Banks. Don't conform? No capital. The Elites rule and use money and their power to control the masses. That's why they want a digital currency. They'll know and control EVERYTHING you do. Speak badly and don't conform? You can't buy food.

I get where you're going, but that's investment banks, not so much the Fed. Blackrock, Fidelity, etc., push the ESG shite. It's nearly impossible to disentangle yourself from ESG, even if you only invest in individual stocks, because the stock will be rated on the investment guidelines that Blackrock operates on

What has trump done to solve corporations running America?
Jared got 2 billion. That had to help someone. But probably need to have the little hat to eat with him.

Sometimes you just don’t get everything you want in life. Like me, I want the latest version of the DSM-5 to finally do what’s right both for the profession as well as the sea of undiagnosed and untreated sufferers and do the right thing by including an entry for TDS. And that’s not a laughing matter. It’s not only the diseased who suffer but also those around them most. It’s a quality of life issue.

OK, but you realize those corporations are controlled by the elites such as Soros and Rockefellers I hope.

the Supremes voted 5 to 4 that since tort law only lets you sue a person, once it was allowed to give company personhood to be sued that it follows to let companies buy federal elections. har har.

Yep, Rich Men North of Richmond. All up in there in them high dollar gated communities.
Don't look very promising for the lower and middle class. The Industrial Revolution brought assembly lines and automation. The high-tech age will bring AI humanoid robots. They will build their cars, appliances, their homes, they will guard their fancy gated communities.
But they need a reason to argue for the widespread deployment of humanoids -like a drastic decrease in the population. That's where them fancy weaponized designer virus come in - the ability to target specific ethnic groups and races. We saw how Covid-19 devestated the generational folks.
You cringe? Consider this, the COVID-19 pandemic destroyed the Trump economy and allowed the establishment to steal the election. Anything is possible with these awful people.
Thank you Secretary Booty-Juice - Creepy Joe Biden

I mean it’s been that way forever. With money comes power and influence and you can’t escape that law of nature in a capitalist system.
As Churchill alluded to, the alternatives are really less fun.

You have three choices, oligarchy, which is what we have, theocracy, or some kind of aristocracy.

Govt and Corporations have fused and become one, and the corporate arm is used by govt to hold you down.

If we had a non-corrupt doj, fbi that would investigate and expose the influence of corporations we wouldn't be in the decline that so many deny.

The only way is to get the government out of market meddling and stop the give always and bailouts.
In other words, until you dismantle Washington, you can’t.

It changed over the past 20 years.
We have a Technocracy. Not a Republic or Democracy. Not even an Oligarchy.
Its authoritarian, and socialistic where "experts" are utilized by government to carry out policy and tasks and corporations meld with govt.

Maybe?
Seeing how the government threatened big tech it would seem that the government has its hands in big business and is fricking with us through them.
