Inflation and Shortage Observations

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? 

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:

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.

Now supply and demand dynamics are artificial? :lol:

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.

No but prices are and that's a fact.

Ironically, it is you who want artificial prices.

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.

 They, as a company, have committed to becoming a net zero energy business by 2050.  They have invested billions of dollars in renewables.  Get lost.  You are clueless.

In other news, over 50% of the cost of Inflation is due to Corporate Profits. Greed is the major factor for Inflation. Artificially inflating the cost of goods is really good for the American People. Let's give them another tax cut.

This simply is not true. The ones that are artificially inflating cost of goods are mostly politicians. It’s their policies that artificially mess with supply and demand of goods.

Prices are a direct result of supply and demand. Prices are only artificial when the demand and or supply is artificial. IE, the government shuts down some businesses which severely decreases supply on most products. Prices go up.
 

In turn, they print and hand out tons of money which drastically increases demand, never mind what it does to the value of the dollar. Prices go up.

Whoa. Terribly cosmopolitan of you.

**** smells the same in a city street as much as it does in any outhouse. Doesn't make you any less a POS. 😉

I don’t live in a city, just a rather affluent suburb.  But good try, hick.

"Affluent suburb" Damn internet peasant.

I live in 5500 square foot Mc Mansion with a daily rotating staff of illegals to maintain the pool, tennis courts, and golf course.

Ain't the internet great?

🤣🤣🤣
