I don't see any mention of the delta between inflation and grocery prices.

I see no evidence that Corporate Profit taking is NOT contributing to the problem.
 

 

I was never asked too.

All I said about Corporate Profit is it is not one of the reasons mentioned in my citation that you claim I don't understand.  But I just showed I did post them. 

Carry on.  Or do you want go for Ace?

That's too bad for you.  My last two posts show you are lying.  THat is now 4 confirmed lies on one thread.  Your next lie will make you an Ace at telling lies.

No, they don't.

It's exactly what you were asked about.

I have no idea what that gibberish means, but



But some policy experts see other issues at work: Corporations, they claim, are increasing prices simply because they can. President Joe Biden last month warned that companies are "ripping people off" with a combination of price gouging, "greedflation" and shrinkflation. 

 Greedflation refers to when companies hike product prices beyond the rate of inflation in order to juice their profits — a concept that Northeastern University economist William Dickens notes has become politicized, with Democrats typically leaning into the idea. Republicans, meanwhile, tend to blame the Biden administration for higher prices

This citation really beats the **** out of your narrative....while emphasizing a study I brought to your attention weeks ago.

That's 5 lies on this thread.  You are now an official Ace of Lies.

We are discussing why my citation says.

Doesn't matter.  You first argument on this thread was that the prices haven't increased.  That is why I brought the facts.

This is all you are doing:

In the face of direct evidence making a liar of you, you immediately spin.

You gave weight to half a dozen words having missed 3 entire paragraphs....which unambiguously contradict the spin you thought important enough to repeat.

I have offered no narrative and no spin.  That is lie number 6, Ace.  

Peace out.  Tie some tourniquets around you bloody stumps.  ANd put one on your neck for that sucking head wound.

I can also tell you who it is not.  It is not corporate greed like you and Biden claim it is.

Lie number 7.

That was in reference to your questions and comments about what my source said the reasons were.  

If my name is on the original quote, and they are, you know they are my words.

And I explained how we can determine whether they are likely to have increased by the amount Gator asserted.

Yep, my posts looks better the more you post....keep up the fine work, I'm proud of you.

In fact, five types of food have been responsible for 30% of grocery inflation in recent years, the left-leaning think tank Groundwork Collective found in a February report.  They are beef and veal; poultry; non-frozen, non-carbonated juices and drinks; fresh fruits and vegetables; and snacks.

 A few of those categories were among the drivers of January's hike in food prices, with beef and veal jumping 7.7% last month. Frozen non-carbonated drinks like orange juice surged 29% last month on an annual basis, while non-frozen non-carbonated drinks rose 4.2%, the CPI data shows.
 
 The reason for the hikes may be due to supply issues and climate change, rather than corporate greed. Drought has reduced pasture for raising cows, leading to smaller cattle herds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And orange production has been impacted by severe weather events and the citrus greening disease, which doesn't have a cure.

This is not what is traditionally referred to as Inflation, as I pointed out years ago.....These are discreet price spikes that just happened to be coincident along with a war and a post pandemic recovery,

 
 

Anyone who goes to the grocery store 5 times a week for 30 years is digging through the scratch and dent bin or can't plan meals much further out than 1.4 days.

You learn some strange stuff about people on these threads!

And as I have consistently posted it is the voters who are experiencing this that you have to convince.
