With CFPB clamping down on predatory overdraft and late fees, banks are looking for other ways to keep their profit margins but according to @IraRheingold: "I think there are some fundamental incentives that will keep them from going too crazy."

I’d be willing to bet you didn’t know the FTC just released a report about why grocery prices are high and that’s 100% due to corporate greed.

I’d bet you probably hadn’t heard because mainstream media doesn’t think this is front page news.

I’d bet they don’t think it’s front page news because it goes against their “Biden is to blame for high prices” narrative.

I’d bet it goes against that narrative because most media is owned by five rich men who want to keep these prices high, and return republicans to power at any cost because it’s better for their tax bill despite the cost to the rest of us.

We ran this story on our podcast because independent media isn’t dependent on the status quo. 👊
