Careful, TJ may tell you to be less stupid.

Can't handle the facts. Huh.

If a company sells an asset and inflation pished the price of that asset up, what do you  think will happen to their profit in absolute terms?

i cant handle your stupidity

If company sells a product and factors in the inflation, wages and costs into the price and then raises the price even higher, what do think happens in terms of profit vs. inflation?

  1. Nor can You. Not surprised. The answer is Corporations make Record Profit and drive up the cost of inflation by artificially inflating the cost of goods.

No you're the child because you can't accept answers that you disagree with or maybe it's you just don't understand the concept. Either way, I don't give a damn.

Here's the answer again.  The answer is Corporations make Record Profit and drive up the cost of inflation by artificially inflating the cost of goods. 

Now let's see where your answer is to my question? Waiting.

It’s almost as if there isn’t a fixed profit margin and when supply is low and demand is high profit margins can increase! :roll:

Whatever. You're a pathetic clown who has to attack me without answering questions or providing and shred of an argument for your position whatever it is. Again, I could care less.

In his mind, economics should be abolished from college curriculums. 

Oil companies were in the red during Covid but I don't recall fears of deflation.

Inflation is complicated. Energy prices play an outsized role but no single industry is determinative.

Inflation is also weird in a Schrödinger's cat kinda way because when it becomes a focus is has a strong influence on behaviors that exacerbate it.

High oil profits are more of a symptom than a cause of inflation. They could maybe contribute in a way, but mostly are a piece of a much larger and more complex but of machinery.

Anyway.. GO PHILS!

The Fed is the main player here, they gotta work back to being a sobering influence on Washington stupidity.

Don't drop rates because the guy who appointed you demands it. Let's get back to a place where long term thinking is at least on the table.
