Never forget this - if this were "real" inflation and not corporate fuckery then their profits would be down.

If it is just corporate profits the state and county sure piled on by increasing my property taxes 40% over the past 3 years. That's an extra $300 a month for me which is more than my car payment.

[gonzoflip]

yeah, almost entirely due to inflation, it isn't like I improved my home.
