Yup.
Tell that to everyone who paid $1 or more less than the current prices all four years under Trump.
Then tell them again after they get that first winter heating bill that's incoming.
I'm sure they'll care about your graphs.

General Mills just paid a $300 million dividend to investors, bought back $150 million in stock to enrich execs and investors and pays its CEO $16 million. It makes $2.1 billion a year in profit.
It is raising prices on cereals 20% and blaming "inflation"
Breakfast is going to be more expensive next year
Expect to pay more for some of your favorite cereals, snacks, soups and cooking brands next year.

Let's see Second try to lie again about the abysmal jobs report like he did last month.

It's weird how corporate profits are shattering records.
Yet they get zero blame for inflation & price increases.
A new report from financial data firm FactSet found that the companies in the S&P 500 are on track to post profit margins of 12.9% in the third quarter of this year. FactSet noted this is the second-highest net profit margin for the index, following only the record-breaking 13.1% margins posted in the second quarter of this year.

Federal government data shows that US corporations are enjoying a record-high streak of profits. Before-tax profits were above $3 trillion in the second quarter of 2021. Must be Biden's fault, not corporate price gouging.

Why don't you ask Obama?
Jeff Bezos just gave him $100 Million. Yanno, the guy who made more money than anyone else in the world during Democrat ran Covid lockdowns and the guy who won't let his company unionize and threatens to shut down operations in any state that where the employees vote to unionize.
Meanwhile... his truck drivers nationwide are pissing in bottles while driving because they don't get brakes.

Quote:Let me check if this is Jeff Bezos' fault. Bezos owns only 10% of Amazon. The fault with how Amazon treats its employees would lie with the owners of the other 90% of shares. And how does Amazon treat its employees that don't live in the USA? Very different in Europe, or anywhere other than the USA. What is so special about the USA not allowing bathroom breaks for Amazon employees driving trucks? The US Congress is what is so special, especially when Congressmen will call laws allowing bathroom breaks as Communism because their special voters call everything Communism.

Still wondering how the fact that Bezos just gifted Barack Obama with $100 Million USD sits with him.
Meanwhile...

Apartment rents up 13.9% this year, huh?
Holy shit.
That single stat officially eats up any pay increases that workers got in 2021, not even considering the rising costs of everything else.

Sorry to tell you, 6ix, but that is not the cause of inflation.
MacKenzie Scott, Bezos' ex-wife, donated $billions to Obama. Also, not the cause of inflation.

6ix, I am pretty sure you don't understand even the fundamental rules of how Capitalism works, but you sure think you do and you really get upset with people who actually do understand and have made fortunes only because they truly understand. It is not by luck, not by accident, and not by cheating. They know what they are doing, while 6ix doesn't, but is certain he does.
Do you know what causes inflation? The answer is rich people raising their prices to see if poor people will pay. Prices are continuously adjusted upwards to find out how much money poor people have and then take it all. It only seems complicated by the invisible hands of capitalism because many rich people are adjusting the prices paid by one poor person. It is a contest among the many rich people on who gets the most from one particular poor person. In this contest, some rich people will lose, but the poor person always loses. That's because in America, Capitalism is allowed by Congress to bankrupt poor people and evict them from their homes.
