  1. Hmm, if they are increasing their profits during a period of inflation, then it isn’t an increase in the cost of operation that are driving the increase in prices (profits would be flat or decreasing, if it were). I guess they are just raising prices because they can. Shareholders’ and corporate executives’ wallets get fatter and they blame “inflation” for price increases. How convenient.

    1. Yes, to people who own WalMart stock, Colton M. Did someone prohibit you from buying WalMart stock if you wanted to share in the company’s profit due to their business model and management?
