It’s been proven to be corporate greed. Small increases in production costs get turned into large increases on consumers. All these companies are publicly traded and there are COUNTLESS earning report calls where they blatantly say that they increased profit MARGINS by blaming inflation.

I mean out of these options, tariffs but that’s not true. Tariffs are the increased production cost. Companies then raise the prices past the tariff cost to increase profit margin.
