      Exactly. Just look at who controls almost all food production. It’s just a few huge corporations. Even if they don’t collude (and I’m in no way claiming they don’t), it’s easy to avoid competition, if there’s just a few participants in the market.

    It’s laughable when some people talk about inflation as it’s a physical law like gravity. No, it’s a decision of the capital owners to protect and grow their profits at the expense of the workers.

    This meme is propaganda. The primary cause of inflation is out of control government spending. In the wise words of Milton Friedman, “Every budget is balanced… If you want to know the real government budget look at inflation.”
