CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS ! ! ! ! ! Retailers are charging a FEE to consumers due to supply chain shortages. Really.
Dollar Tree made $1,230,000,000 in profits this year, gave its CEO $10,767,883 and pays workers as little as $8.32 an hour. Over 7,400 Dollar Tree employees are forced to rely on food stamps and Medicaid subsidized by U.S. taxpayers. Cite the damn corporate greed. https://t.co/6cA6rMtY51

Somehow it is MY responsibility –
as consumer –
to cover your rich ass?
How about all you fucking CEOs, CFOs, ABCDEOs, ALL take a pay cut?
As a single owner businessman that’s what I do.
When plywood prices tripled a few months back I didn’t raise the price of my products, I tried a different less expensive plywood which was crap as it turned out, but I knew it was short term so I took the hit and went back to the higher quality ply.
Prices went back down for plywood so it’s back to normal for me.
I knew if I raised my prices I would sell less,
I would rather sell more products than less.
“Demand is high so we HAVE to charge more!”
HUH???
If demand is high aren’t you making more money?
If demand is high can’t you hire more people?
If demand is high isn’t there more profit?
Demand is high ergo GREED is high.
Greed causes inflation.
Greed causes housing to go up.
Greed causes gas prices to rise.
Greed causes consumers to want more and more shit –
immediately –
they can then sell at their yard sale the next year.
Greed causes used car prices to go up because some stupid computer chip isn’t available for the new cars? How the fuck does a new Ford’s unavailability cause a 3 year old Ford’s price to go up??? Used car dealers should be happy as clams to sell as many of their USED cars off as quick as possible, there will ALWAYS be a demand for used cars. What the absolute fuck??
That’s right, “It isn’t that simple.”
Yeah right, sure it isn’t.
Don’t get me wrong though,
