Just for your info.

A liberal arts education is a broad, non‑vocational academic program that develops general intellectual skills across the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and formal sciences, rather than training for a specific profession. It emphasizes critical thinking, communication, ethical reasoning, and interdisciplinary learning, drawing on a tradition that dates back to the classical trivium and quadrivium.

Maybe you should get one, or at least a fourth grade education, it looks like you need it.

Easy enough. Its almost like you rightoids cant comprehend that groups of people can have malignant intent. Well, unless we're talking brown or poor people. You understand malignant intent only when it applies to them.

1. Inflation caused by production bottle necks during covid is the primary driver of some inflation.

2. Corporate firms recorded record profits while also blaming inflation for high prices - this is directly contradictory and corporations admit in shareholder calls at the time they used inflation as cover for essentially price gouging.

Its an easy calculus. If inflation was so high that a burger had to cost 9 bucks, why are profits so high?

Sysco systems a major food supplier in my area. In 2020, profits 9.9bn. In 2021, 9.357bn. 2022 12.320bn. 2023 13.955bn. 2024 14.608bn. 2025 14.969bn. 2026 15.639bn.

Now, sysco provides the meat. The burger joint provides the final product. If inflation was so bad why did corpore profits jump 33% post covid. And why are they up 75% since 2020.

Do the math.

"Guesses" as to the exact amount... yes. As each individual person will have differing situations.

But not "guesses" as to the vast amount of money being taken away from middle class and below citizens, including the 60+ group, as that $790B to $1T transfer up to the rich, has been confirmed by multiple sources.

Its obvious that you have a "liberal arts education". The first clue is that most often you leave a finger which suggests a dearth of intellect. Second if you do leave a post its usually retarded and meaningless. And lastly your sad defense of a "liberal arts education" shows Ive struck a nerve in you.

I forgot the barf emoji is another one of your highly intellectual "liberal arts education" response.

Oh yeah and you actually think people believe the liberal in liberal arts education refers to political ideology. You need to demand a refund

Cite where and how this "transfer" is taking place. Who specifically among "the rich" is getting this money? It should be easy to find out their names.

I just provided it to you.

Its almost like youre incapable of independent thought. There are example after example of corporations making record profits despite high inflation.

This proves corporations are price gouging. The wealthy are stealing right from us by gouging and using inflation as cover.

hahah.

Man you are dumb. You do not know how tax cuts for a group (in this case the uber rich) work. It is the GROUP who all benefit.

Right I dont. You said "the rich" are getting the money so tell me specifically who among "the rich" is getting this money. How stupid I may or may not be has no bearing on whether or not you can answer a simple question.
