That’s not “inflation.” That’s tariffs. And it wasn’t “inflation” under Biden. It was price gouging.

Fuck, I wish some of y’all would read a book once in a while.

Tariffs cause inflation. Price gouging also causes inflation.

“Inflation” doesn’t just mean ‘prices go up.’ Again, please read a fucking book.

It pretty much does.

In economics, inflation is an increase in the average price of goods and services in terms of money.[4][5]: 579 This increase is measured using a price index, typically a consumer price index (CPI).

No, profit percentages remain relatively flat during inflationary increases. That’s not what we’re seeing at all. Profit percentages are at an all-time high.
