This why you need to tax the rich and give some kind of bursary up to the middle class

Have you see the profits?

I guess the GOP destroying the middle class was probably a bad thing.

If anyone knows of a proven, well-vetted, method/template/algorithm that will continually curtail inflation and maintain reserves, as an economy gradually morphs from agrarian to manufacturing to service to unknown future mode, — in spite of pandemics, wars, climate change, etc — please let us know how to solve the problem … and please stop the incessant whining and assigning of blame.

Ah, a person who believes in a boom economy with depression prices.Must be one of those “six impossible things before breakfast” types…..

About 10% of the population is doing really well in this economy’ The other 90% is getting by, at best.

Supply and Demand Man Supply and Demand !

Shareholders have been feeling the pinch of the pandemic and are wanting to make up for lost profits.

Forget milk. Have you seen the price of a pair of ‘’Player Endorsed’’ sneakers?

I’m saving up for a pair of Bob Cousy Hi Tops.

I really haven’t seen milk prices go up by very much. True, the prices seldom drop down below $2, but have yet to rise above $3, yet.

I love Mike’s cartoons, but this is TOTALLY wrong. Milk has not gone up in price by 1 cent in at least 1-2 years! Not where I buy it in NJ.

Gas at every station went up ten cents last week. Later that day, they all went back down by five cents.

President Biden must have called each station and said, “C’mon, man! Ten cents makes me look bad!”

Since we all know he controls prices all over the world. /s

Many of these problems still go directly back to Rump and his complete incompetence in dealing with Covid from the start. We’ll be living with his selfish blunders and lies for years to come.

It is not inflation. It is greed and the absurd idea that corporations are people, that trickle down economics would ever happen, and that the vast majority of CEO’s and stockholders care a single thing about you unless you bring them more money and power. Are you foolish enough to doubt this for an instant?

Remember the big push a couple of years go to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour? By the time we get it, inflation will have made it worth — in real buying power — about the $7.15 an hour that was in effect when the movement started.

If you believe people who make 300 times what their average employee makes when he/she claims that raising the wages of employees will cause unchecked inflation….

You might be a Republican.

Apologies to Jeff Foxworthy.

Price gouging hurts everyone, except the top 10 percent.

The current problem with inflation / price gouging could be tempered by creating a maximum wage, which should include pay received in stock options.

Typical for Americans to bemoan inflation whilst ignoring all the other booming aspects of the economy, and this while the country is still struggling with Covid!

Oh, look… yet another cartoon about inflation.

Meh.

It’s the beginning of Corporate America’s efforts to help Trumpanzee candidates win the Midterms.

And, by Price Gouging us, they also get lots of Windfall Profits to pay themselves BONUSES with.

No change here.

If the Republithugs can make Biden/Harris look bad and they’ve already gotten the former governor of NY out of the way and his brother. Not to mention the ratty assed stories they are now throwing around about the “worse things” that Hillary has done, who will the Dems run in the next election? Mark my words, Trump will never serve a day or a penalty for what he’s done. They will let him run and “happy days” will be back, for him and first stumpette and the kids, the four stooges…oops, advisors.

The debt problem is simple—it will disappear the moment republicans regain congress.

I don’t care who is to blame for inflation. All I know is that on my salary as an assistant math professor at a university in Louisiana I am feeling the pinch. Between gas prices, food prices and semi-annual 1% raises, I am having trouble paying my bills. I don’t care whose fault it is but I damned sure feel the pain of inflation and I would like some relief.
