The issue hasn't been inflation. It's been the companies gouging just because people are constantly buying it. You can't have inflation and record profits. It doesn't correlate. But people have slowed down on purchasing that's why you're seeing the prices at McDonald's and other things start to come back to Earth. But they have to break up those grocery store. They're like 3-4 companies in charge of all of them in the country so they're fixing the price on goods


we need some major trust busting.

Both things are true. Americans are suffering from price gouging and inflation.

Building more homes... How about stopping institutional investors/wall-street from buying up single family homes?

Single people have bills just like people with kids do. I don’t know why you’re sitting here trying to pretend otherwise and they don’t have some of the benefits or discounts that people with kids do to help.

And why is that? Because kids cost a fortune to raise. You just proved my point. Bye. :pachaha:

This isn't really true though. McDonalds and other fast food places raised their costs alongside raising salaries. You can drive by any fast food place right now and see them advertising paying workers over $15 in many places, offering bonuses for managers, etc. They simply passed the costs to consumers.

Consumption has largely been up to oddly high levels, it's not a matter of purchasing being down. People rushed out to get fast food or order Door Dash/Grubhub during the pandemic and that continued into 2022-2024.

They did and then their sales started slowing up. That's why all of these fast food places are bringing back the $5 menus and putting all types of discounts on their apps. I wouldn't advocate eating at these places regardless but they went too far in one direction and now have to scale back after people said "it isn't worth it"..
