Regular reminder that the high prices you pay at the supermarket are not because of "supply chain issues" or increased wages/costs.
You're paying shareholders. Period.
Hmm. 🤔
This issue's suddenly big news all over:
These companies could decide to maintain a steady profit and not increase prices to cover cost increases.
But they don't. They prioritise shareholders because - and this is the important bit ➡️ *that's how capitalism works*. They have a fiduciary responsibility to their investors.
The system is designed to funnel all the $$ to people who already own all the things.
There needs to be sensible regulation to stop it.
