worked for a food distrobutor during covid and they had a meeting about jacking up prices on covid supplies and all other items. At the time I said the covid supplies was a big issue. Nope, full steam ahead. I even did a whistlr blower complaint to the FTC with all the documents. Nothing ever came of it.
My work magically got a supply of N95 masks early in Covid. It was unexpected, so we didn’t have a plan or a system for them. Didn’t think to have a limit or anything.
A crew from Albert Lee bought every single one, took them back to their store, and sold them at 100% markup.
I was at the grocery store yesterday. A single shrinkflation Hershey’s bar was $2.49. Some prices have doubled in 1-5 years… Are you fucking kidding me!?
Greed…
The answer, as for so many others, is greed.
How could capitalism ever turn out this way? /s
Thank Reagan and Thatcher for that fucking mess.
