Wrongo.
The purpose of ANY for-profit business is to make profit for the owners or stockholders. A SUSTAINABLE business will do so by using my first sentence, but that is a tool......not it's primary goal.


Every company operates (or better) on a margin or they won't be in business long. For instance, my clients in the restaurant business say they need to be 33% above food costs and labor to survive.

I'm curious as to why many on this forum blame Biden for the crazy inflation that started back in 2021 or so...There was many factors that contributed to it...as buisiness began to reopen after the pandemic...they couldn't find workers so they had to increase pay by sometimes 50 percent...I know someone that cooks decent food and went from making 16 hourly to 23 hourly and a 1k bonus after staying on the job for a month.. dishwashing was advertised at 15-17 hour...in 2017 same job pays 11-12...so now in Ohio there are not very many buisiness that offer starting pay of less than 13....my point is that with big payroll increase will bring on increase on everything else...Other factors such as shortage of truck drivers causes goods to not get delivered.also straight up corporate greed...so probably wouldn't matter who was in office...the same thing would have happened..I noticed many people on this forum seem to be anti electric vehicle...but I found out that all most every Amazon truck in Ohio is electric and they seem to be operating efficiently...as time goes on and engineering continues to advance.... price will come down and just like every thing else people will get on board and a decade from now another new way of whatever will be embraced by a few... shunned by alot and over time those ways will switch to welcome by most and shunned by only a few
I'm curious as to why many on this forum blame Bid... (show quote)


We blame the Biden administration because it was largely their policies that caused inflation. Unfortunately apologists like you aren't smart enough to understand how it works. You shouldn't respond on subjects you don't understand. Which means, you should never respond.

So where you live, prices have not increased?


Prices, except gas, have gone up. Gas has gone down, I just paid under $3 for gas. My income has gone up, to meet inflation.

Sure it has. Most wages are not keeping up with inflation. Even though the rate of inflation is going down prices are staying put or increasing. Gas is still much higher under Biden.
