Just so you know...
Kroger raked in a whopping $466 million in the second quarter of 2024, with year-to-date earnings hitting $1.4 billion.
That's nearly double the amount it earned last year.
The company paid its CEO $15.7 million last year, 502x a typical Kroger employee.
@Malinowski@braincloud77 Wonder how inflation has affected the price of travel to outer space or to the bottom of the sea?
Yet, somehow, some are able to afford it?
Maybe their income somehow magically keeps up with/ exceeds rate of inflation?
And folks think a “billionaire” has the answer?
@SemiramisRising@thekimkavin The government requires said insurance.
What other “private industry” enjoys such a market?
How does such an arrangement between the government and “private industry” fit into your definition of “communism”?
