But where those companies are concerned, looking at it objectively, big picture, it would appear to me that what’s happening is that they are capturing more of the market. The little guys are being destroyed. And of course the trade unions would not oppose. If unionized big corporations capture more of the market, so do they. They don’t want to independent little guys to succeed. They want 100% control and ownership of the labor market.

The ones who say the monopolies need to be broken up are on the right track, imo. Competition is key. But four companies don’t make a monopoly. The root cause is reprobate government stupidity. As Milton Friedman said, inflation is caused by governments.

Buried deep in the Guardian article, turns out their profit margins increased by less than 1%. If revenues have increased 20%, expenses have increased by about 19%. If the buying power of the dollar has decreased by 20% (and that’s a very low estimate), then their real revenues, expenses, and profits have held fairly steady. But by using dollar amounts, and reporting half the story, the socialist crowd can stir up hysteria, deflect attention away from governments which caused and exacerbate the problem, while proposing that even more government meddling and control is the solution.

Aside from money printing exacerbating inflation, the problem is the supply, which governments and climate activists have also worked to constrict. If there’s not enough supply, then people are going to go hungry no matter what the price might be.

But that’s leftists for you, though. People are going hungry, so they’re going to fix the problem by constricting the supply further, burdening the supply chain more, increasing inflation and cost of living. Such geniuses they are. Who knew we could all survive by eating dollar bills. 🙄
