The only company on this list that is recording record profits is XOM. Oil is a commodity and Exxon mobile does not control the price of that commodity. They are a publicly traded company with a legal fiduciary obligation to their shareholders, I am one btw, and they can't choose to sell their products below market price.

The rest of the companies you listed are all reporting earnings less than earlier this year or mid 2021. It might be hard to believe but at the beginning of this year the Fed was still buying securities.

Who has record profits that you want me to explain?

>Inflation is currently being caused by companies jacking prices.

No its not. Inflation is being caused by supply chain woes, a war in Europe, very generous fiscal policy during Covid and mostly, overwhelmingly by a decade plus of ZIRP and QE. Corporates are raising prices because they have to.

A senator doesn't lead. A senator is a legislature who represents their constituents. Presidents, governors, mayors are executives, they lead.

Washington St

The first and most important thing the city of Philadelphia can do is give new businesses who aren't making money a tax holiday.

This is cool but I also think we can do way better for people with an entrepreneurial mindset than refurbished shipping containers.

Dude I couldn't care less about your opinion of me. It's really the simplest shit in the world, live below your means and save your extra money and before you know it you'll be financially secure. If you'd rather spend all your money and be broke and complain about oligarchs, you do you bro, I could not care less.

If you spend all your money on gas and your home, then you probably can't afford your home.

No I'm saying, don't stretch your last cent, save your money. Want corporate profits to stop soaring? Stop buying their shit.

Bro, it's 100% your life. You live it how you want. All I'm giving you is the most basic common sense advice possible, it's not even really an opinion.

I mean, most people, like 99% of people, do not make a budget. So if you do then you are exceptional. If you aren't getting a living wage then you need to rethink your career path. Not trying to be harsh, but there really are no excuses.

Yea very sus, how did this dude get these guns?

You got to live below your means and save your extra money for a rainy day. Start by making a budget.

Prepare for an economic crisis either way.
