MODERATORS
It's so hard to get people (MAGAs especially) to understand that this is being done to us. It's not Biden's policies but corporate greed, you can't have record profits and blame inflation for rising prices and stagnant wages.
Sorry, but it is mainly Biden's policies. The administration has largely ignored white collar crime, especially when it comes to things like price collusion, antitrust, etc.
Case in point: the DOJ lawsuit against RealPage software (which landlords were using to collude on apartment prices). The company was engaged in extremely serious criminal activity, but the DOJ did not file any criminal charges.
We've had six straight administrations of almost total non-enforcement of antitrust. I'm happy with Biden bringing lots civil cases when no one else has done anything about the problem, especially because civil cases are much easier to win. The goal should be to fix the problem more than punish people for what past administrations effectively legalized.
It is inflation. And "greed" is accounted for in the definition of a market. Oligopolies are not.
