Bullshit. The stimulus amounted to nothing and was gone instantly, with most going to bills.

The trope that the stimulus made poor people rich and thus able to spend more is farcical.

It's greed pure and simple. First they blamed covid, then supply constraints, then they just stopped with the excuses as people just assumed this is how it is now.

Also, landlords have increased rents exponentially without an increase to minimum wage.

These are just corporations raising prices. They raise and lower prices in order to maximize profit. That’s what corporations do. The only way they’re finding greater profit when raising prices is because the consumer is willing and able to pay the higher prices. They’re always doing this.
