And the newest scam is......."SHRINKFLATION!"

[HJCane]

As a way of trying to trick consumers manufacturers have gone to SHRINKING the amount contained in the package.
Paper towels same price but every roll reduced by 15-20 sheets
Cereal mfgs. reducing the amount of cereal by 1 cup per box
Glad sandwich bags instead of 54 in the box it now contains 50

On and on and on the slaughter of our pockets continues.

Actually you have it very backwards. Capitalism the #1 goal is profit maximization. Communism is completely opposite.

Does capitalism focus on profit?


Capitalism is often thought of as an economic system in which private actors own and control property in accord with their interests, and demand and supply freely set prices in markets in a way that can serve the best interests of society. The essential feature of capitalism is the motive to make a profit.

Profit maximisation is a process business firms undergo to ensure the best output and price levels are achieved in order to maximise its returns. Influential factors such as sale price, production cost and output levels are adjusted by the firm as a way of realising its profit goals.

In short, when they feel they can NO LONGER pass on price increases to consumers they will adjust portions. BTW restaurants are doing this also. Used to get a 10oz piece of fish, now it's 8 ozs.

The latest scam discovered by the January 6 Committee was a scheme to hijack the Electoral College by having fake electors sign fake election certificates.

Could give two shits. These are liberal problems. Markets doing great. $4 a gallon of gas, bring it on. Dems get what they deserve. Thank god the police are still prevalent in the red suburban areas where they’re still welcome and appreciated. Survival of the fittest. Everyone else, f-em, they get what they voted for. We all have a choice.

Hurts low income people.
