All of them? Are these record profits adjusted for the massive amounts of inflation? You've looked into that correct?
Here you go:

I'll grant you this much. It's a dicy subject to tell companies that "you can't profit because it increases inflation" - which it ABSOLUTELY does. But there's nothing wrong with giving corporations there share of the blame when inflation happens and they are a key part of it. If we're not allowed to speak the truth, what are we allowed to do?
This article was just a fancy way to say the companies raised prices in anticipation of higher costs due to actual inflation aka the increase in money supply. These price increases were not due to any sort of advantage in the marketplace they were exploiting.
In short, the price increases were necessary.
And just to be clear. This record profit narrative is said to erase any blame from the government. The money supply was increased. That's why prices increased across the board. That is why everyone, including workers are making 'record incomes' while actually having less spending power. These people are very clever. I have to hand it to them...
Just want to actually get an answer to this question from a Trumper (third try in this thread)
What could Donald do prior to November that would render him un-electable in your eyes? What would he have to do to lose your vote?
Is there a stance he could take? A personal event (shooting someone, or an animal)? anything at all?
