the tweet below talks about how Pepsi and Chipotle both have raised their prices. These could be considered "menu costs", which is when business' have to reprice due to inflation. @LuiggiDonayre@econ_ta#econUMD
PepsiCo raised prices by 17%. Their profits went up by more than 20%.
Chipotle raised prices by nearly 15%. Their profits went up by nearly 26%.
See the pattern? Corporations are raising prices under the cover of inflation, after their inflation-related costs have been covered.
historically the debt of the US Gov. has risen during war times and decreased during times of peaces. This was true until the 1980s which is clear on the chart below. #econUMD@LuiggiDonayre@econ_ta
