Higher costs (goods, labor, expenses) lead to higher profits. The business model stays the same, but all the figures are higher. It makes complete sense.

Also - Inflation can lead to a numbness to sticker shock, so i'm sure companies are using this opportunity to see how much they can goose it up justba little bit more.

Is it more logical to accept the way things are and plan accordingly or to act shocked that businesses are behaving exactly as they always have?

Never said that

all I will say is there is a reason I’m retiring at 40

i might be the person in this thread who benefits the most from this “inflation.”

and I will leave it at that

Nice.

I was hoping to do that when I turn 50, but now that gas is $3.89/g I doubt that will happen.

Thanks Joe!

I'm going to write a shitty review of your textbook, and book the venue across the street on the same night of all your lectures. I'm gonna call my tour "The Dude Across the Street is Dumb"

Going to have to make some adjustments to get by these hard times.

Done with fast food

No more...
paper towels
paper plates
razor blades....look good in a beard, she can wear pants
expensive dog food......going to try it see what happens
TV dinners and all that microwave stuff
no more trips just for the hell of it....gas saving
try to do everything in one trip.....gas saving
no more Jack Daneils, down to cheap whiskey like AA/Kesslers
no more dog grooming
wife giving up Bible studies that is a weekly 60 mile trip.....gas saving
let the guys who do my lawns go, I own a mower.

That should help us deal with these hard times.

Fast food is a money pit and kessler is cheap AF I used to buy it for 4 bucks terrible hang overs though.
