Would have been a good data point to see how many respondents get their news from Fox News/conservative media.

Probably cause things like this are happening too.

Hmm I wonder who was president in 2020

But also, corporate greed has far more to do with this than Biden or even Trump

I agree that corporate greed is an issue, but it can only go as far as consumers allow it. Of course, I'm not referring to essential items like homes, basic used cars, or basic food needs such as fruits, vegetables, potatoes, rice, and meat.

However, when it comes to non-essential products, we are responsible for enabling these companies. Items like fast food from McDonald's or Taco Bell, snacks like chips and dips, and sugary drinks like soda and candy are bought by consumers despite their high prices. I'm not criticizing those who indulge occasionally, but rather those who regularly purchase these unhealthy, overpriced products and then complain on social media about how much they cost.

If we stop buying unnecessary, overpriced items, the prices will eventually stabilize. These companies continue to inflate prices because consumers perpetually buy their products.

I realize this is a bit of a rant, but I'm tired of hearing complaints about the cost of non-essential items. We need to take responsibility for our purchasing choices.

Median home price in California topped $900k. Homeownership is truly the haves vs have-nots.

This is why there are reports of fast food chains planning to cut prices in the near term

That post kinda drips of BP's "carbon footprint" messaging. "If individuals simply take responsibility, us corporations won't do so much damage!"

[Roranora]

But its also consistent with the old addage of the best cure for high prices is high prices.
