It's time for gas retailers to pass the cost declines they’re feeling in the market onto American families at the pump.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

On #PrimeDay, let's not forget. Amazon blamed "inflation" on a 17% price hike in a Prime membership after its profits soared 450% since the pandemic to a record $38 billion while avoiding $5 billion in taxes, spending $4 million on union busting & denying workers paid sick leave.

us: left govt, high inflation
uk: right govt, high inflation
germany: centrist govt, high inflation
italy: everyone in govt, high inflation

wild guess it’s not the govt

“Biden is causing rising grocery prices!”

4 companies control 90% of the baby formula market.

4 companies control 85% of the beef market.

3 companies control 78% of the pasta market.

3 companies control 72% of the cereal market.

It's corporate greed.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Apple Store workers in Maryland are attempting to form the company’s first US union.

While CEO Tim Cook made $98 million last year, workers face threats from customers and are barely scraping by.

“There’s a revolution coming and it’s gonna be one retail store at a time.”

That cut to Peter Doocy...

“Everyone had to prove they were fully vaccinated and boosted. So if you are at home watching this and you wonder how to do that, just contact your favorite Fox News reporter. They’re all here, vaccinated and boosted, all of them.”

Explain why cancelling $1,900,000,000,000 in student debt is a “handout”, but a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for rich people was a “stimulus”.

Happy tax day 😐

I've gotten @TimHortons coffee and the last two times I haven't gotten my roll ups on the app.... bring back the actual roll up the rim!

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

If we can cut $1.7 trillion in taxes for 600 billionaires, we can cancel $1.8 trillion in student debt for 45 million Americans.

If you are against Medicare for All on the basis of “I don’t want to pay for someone else’s care,” please explain what health insurance is. Because you pay for other people’s care AND the CEOs yacht. It’s simple. They’re middle men profiting off sickness.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Big oil companies are engaged in massive profiteering and price gouging. We need a windfall profits tax.

Professors will still be paid when college is free.

Doctors and nurses will still be paid when healthcare is free.

The middlemen standing between the people and those services won’t have 3 yachts anymore.

"why are food prices so high"

UNFI (the nation's largest grocery distributor) just reported its highest sales ever, "driven primarily by inflation."

Its profit is up 11.9% in the last year.

Every stop along the supply chain, corporate greed has been rebranded as "inflation."
